Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

watts

amps

joules or newton-meters

horsepower


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


3

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

66% Answer Correctly

4

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

ribosomes

all of these deal with proteins

Golgi apparatus

endoplasmic reticulum


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.


5

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

positive, antigen

positive, negative

antigen, negative

negative, positive


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
