1

Which of the following is not one of the outer planets?

72% Answer Correctly

Venus

Uranus

Jupiter

Neptune


Solution

In contrast to the solid terrestrial planets, the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) consist of hydrogen and helium gas and water.


2

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

group

family

period

atomic number


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


3

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

69% Answer Correctly

combinational quantities

composite quantities

scalar quantities

vector quantities


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:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

universal recipient status

universal donor status

postive or negative

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

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

right atrium

pulmonary vein

aorta

left ventricle


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
