1

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

atmosphere

lithosphere

geosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


2

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

none of these are correct

ovum → zygote → fetus

zygote → ovum → fetus

ovum → fetus → zygote


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.


3

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

circulation

nervous

digestion

respiration


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


4

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

proton

neutron

electron

atom


Solution

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.


5

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

mass

momentum

acceleration

velocity


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)
