1

Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the shortest time period? 

57% Answer Correctly

period

age

eon

epoch


Solution

The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.


2

As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?

45% Answer Correctly

decomposition

sedimentation

evaporation

photosynthesis


Solution

The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.


3

Which of the following is not part of the carbon cycle?

59% Answer Correctly

respiration

photosynthesis

precipitation

decomposition

The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis.

4

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

none of these

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


5

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

digestive

reproductive

circulatory

nervous


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.
