1

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

simple nutrients

producers

carrion

complex carbohydrates


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


2

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

62% Answer Correctly

bronchioles

blood cells

capillaries

diaphragms


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.


3

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

electron

neutron

proton

atom


Solution

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


4

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

none of these

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


5

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

transitional

potential

gravitational

kinetic


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
