1

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

only a cell wall

only a cell membrane

a cell membrane and a cell wall

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


2

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:

61% Answer Correctly

diffusion

convection

conduction

radiation


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee. 


3

The brain and spinal cord make up the __________ nervous system.

81% Answer Correctly

central

autonomic

somatic

peripheral


Solution

The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.


4

Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

Rh factor

negative or positive status

blood oxygen capacity

blood type


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


5

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

focal point

refractive index

90°

angle of incidence


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
