Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?

42% Answer Correctly

ion

base

hydrogen

acid


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.

The first step in the water cycle is:

68% Answer Correctly

reclamation

evaporation

precipitation

infiltration


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


3

What is the body's largest artery?

73% Answer Correctly

arteriole

capillary

vena cava

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


4

Which of the following is true about species groups?

47% Answer Correctly

an ecosystem is a biological population

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres

a population is made up of a group of communities

a community is made up of a group of populations


Solution

population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.

Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
