1

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

kingdoms

domains

species

classes


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


2

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

aerobically

in the presence of oxygen

in plant cells

anaerobically


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


3

Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?

71% Answer Correctly

inner core

continents

mantle

outer core


Solution

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.


4

Which of these is not a type of fat?

76% Answer Correctly

polyunsaturated

cholesterol

monounsaturated

saturated


Solution

Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils).


5

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

vector quantities

scalar 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:  \(\vec{v}\)
