The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


2

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:

61% Answer Correctly

radiation

conduction

convection

diffusion


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee. 


3

An electrically charged atom is a(n):

49% Answer Correctly

ion

electron

neutron

proton


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


4

"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

73% Answer Correctly

fourth

second

first

third


Solution

Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.


5

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

67% Answer Correctly

convection

conduction

reflection

radiation


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
