Question 1:


Given that there are over 100 million residential addresses in the United States, which of the following best describes a flaw of this survey as it is described?

A. There were not enough age groups to show a trend based on age.

B. The addresses were chosen randomly rather than strategically

C. The distribution of ages in the sample did not reflect the actual population

D. Each response represents only one person per address

The Correct Answer is A.

While the random selection and large number of surveys sent out were a good start, to truly study the relationship between age and screen usage, it would have been better to have a few more age groups or just a direct age value from each participant rather than four large categories. As far as whether the age distribution accurately reflected the population, we don't have enough information to say if that was a problem or not. Also, the fact that each response is from just one person at the address is not a flaw but a reasonable way to get a good variety of responses


Question 2:

Which of the following orbitals is the last to fill?

A. 1s

B. 3s

C. 4p

D. 6s

The Correct Answer is D.

Of these orbitals, the last to fill is 6s.

Orbitals fill in the following order: 1s, 25, 2p. 35, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 55, 4d, 5p. 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p. 7s, 5f, 6d, and 7p. The number is the orbital number, and the letter is the sublevel identification. Sublevels has one orbital and can hold a maximum of two electrons. Sublevel p has three orbitals and can hold a maximum of six electrons. Sublevel d has five orbitals and can hold a maximum of 10 electrons, Sublevel f has seven orbitals and can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.


Question 3:

Which of the following molecules exhibits ionic bonding?

A. NaCl

B. CO2

C. C6H12O6

D. H2O

The Correct Answer is A.

Sodium chloride exhibits lonic bonding due to the attraction between Na+ ions and Cl- ions.

Typically, elements on the opposite sides of the periodic table (a metal and a nonmetal) form ionic bonds. Carbon dioxide, water, and glucose exhibit covalent bonding. Typically, elements on the same side of the periodic table (two or more nonmetals) form covalent bonds.


Question 4:

Which of the following are formed when the plasma membrane surrounds a particle outside of the cell?

A. Golgi bodies

B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum

C. Secretory vesicles

D. Endocytic vesicles

The Correct Answer is D.

Endocytosis is a process by which cells absorb larger molecules or even tiny organisms, such as bacteria, that would not be able to pass through the plasma membrane. Endocytic vesicles containing molecules from the extracellular environment often undergo further processing once they enter the cell.


Question 5:

Which of the following is exchanged between two or more atoms that undergo ionic bonding?

A. Neutrons

B. Transitory electrons

C. Valence electrons

D. Electrical charges

The Correct Answer is C.

An ionic bond forms when one atom donates an electron from its outer shell, called a valence electron, to another atom to form two oppositely charged atoms.


Question 6:

Which of the following anatomical terms is NOT part of the knee?

A. Medial collateral ligament

B. Patella

C. Lateral malleolus

D. Lateral meniscus

The Correct Answer is C.

The term "lateral malleolus" refers to the bony prominence on the outer side of the ankle.

It is part of the ankle joint, not the knee joint. The other options, such as the medial collateral ligament, patella, and lateral meniscus, are all associated with the knee joint.


Question 7:

Every child in a certain family has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Based on this evidence, what possible conclusion can be drawn about ASD?

A. ASD may be lethal.

B. ASD may be genetic.

C. ASD is related to traditional nuclear family structures,

D. No conclusion can be drawn based on this evidence.

The Correct Answer is B.

The evidence says that every child in a certain family has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). All of these children have genetic commonalities. Therefore, ASD may be genetic.

The evidence does not mention whether the children died from ASD. Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn that ASD may be lethal. Furthermore, the sample size of the evidence is much too small to suggest that ASD is related to traditional nuclear family structures.


Question 8:

Which of the following is an example of a chemical change?

A. Releasing compressed gas to make a bottle-rocket launch

B. Adding water to clay to make slip

C. Crystalizing honey to make candy

D. Including baking soda in a recipe to make it less sour

The Correct Answer is D.

A chemical change involves a chemical reaction and new substances are produced. When baking soda is added to something sour (acidic) it neutralizes the acid and forms new molecules, in this case carbon dioxide and water. A physical change does not produce new substances. Phase changes such as evaporation and sublimation are physical changes. Changing the ratio of ingredients in a mixture, like adding more water to clay, does not change it chemically, but it can change some of the mixture's physical properties.


Question 9:

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

A. An organelle is a specialized structure in a cell, such as a ribosome.

B. An organ is made up of similar tissues that perform the same function.

C. Organ systems are two or more organs performing similar functions.

D. A tissue contains a single cell type that works to perform a specific function.

The Correct Answer is D.

A tissue contains a variety of cell types that work in conjunction to perform similar functions.

The cells are similar in structure despite being located throughout the body. There are four types of tissues in the human body: connective, epithelial, muscle, and nervous system tissues.


Question 10:

Which of the following is NOT true concerning correlation?

A. Correlation can show the relationship between variables.

B. Correlation can show cause and effect.

C. Correlation can show linear relationships.

D. Correlation can show nonlinear relationships.

The Correct Answer is B.

Correlations may be positive or negative and linear or nonlinear. However, correlation does not determine cause and effect. Correlation does not necessarily mean causation.
