Sample Practice Test Questions
In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?
cytoplasm
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.
The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:
postive or negative
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.
What's the last gear in a gear train called?
driven gear
A gear train is two or more gears linked together. Gear trains are designed to increase or reduce the speed or torque outpout of a rotating system or change the direction of its output. The first gear in the chain is called the driver and the last gear in the chain the driven gear with the gears between them called idler gears.
The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?
frozen methane, ammonia, and water
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
diaphragm
The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.
The __________ splits engine power between the front and rear axles of four-wheel drive vehicles.
transfer case
The transfer case splits engine power between the front and rear axles of four-wheel drive vehicles.
What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{20} \) - \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
5\( \sqrt{20} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
5\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
5\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(5)(2)\( \sqrt{5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
10\( \sqrt{5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
10\( \sqrt{5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)Which of the following statements about fuel injection is false?
relies on suction to draw fuel into the engine
Fuel injection has replaced the carburetor as the primary automobile fuel delivery system. The main difference between the fuel injector and the carburetor is that fuel injection atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle under high pressure while a carburetor relies on suction to draw fuel into an accelerated intake air stream.
