1

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

61% Answer Correctly

conduction

convection

diffusion

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. 


2

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

circulatory

nervous

reproductive

digestive


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.


3

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

62% Answer Correctly

lithosphere

hydrosphere

atmosphere

geosphere


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).


4

Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?

76% Answer Correctly

2

23

46

4


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


5

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).
