College Scientific Method
What is a quantitative observation?
  1. An observation that deals with numbers or amounts.
  2. An observation that deals with senses.
  3. A number that tells you how many trials there are in an experiment.
  4. A sight process involving numbers.
College Small Bodies and Dwarf Planets
Long period comets have orbits                                                           .
  1. the same as the orbits of short period comets
  2. always in the plane of the planets
  3. that are circular
  4. randomly oriented with respect to the plane of the planets
College Scientific Method
In scientific experimentation, a variable is best described as what?
  1. an adjustable condition in an experiment
  2. a comparative condition in an experiment in which nothing is introduced
  3. something that must be consistently reproducible
  4. subject to challenge and revision, based on evidence
College Small Bodies and Dwarf Planets
Imagine a new object is discovered in the solar system. It is orbiting the Sun at a distance of 2.8 AU. The object is known to be of sufficient mass to be spherical in shape. Would this object be classified as a planet or a dwarf planet?
  1. Planet, it meets all three criteria necessary to be classified as a planet
  2. Planet, any object that is spherical and is in orbit around the Sun is a planet.
  3. Dwarf Planet, it meets the first two criteria for a planet, but it orbits in the asteroid belt, so it does not meet the third criteria.
  4. Dwarf Planet, it meets the first two criteria for a planet, but it orbits in the Kuiper Belt, so it does not meet the third criteria.
College Nervous and Endocrine Systems
While sitting quietly watching television, you suddenly hear the sound of glass breaking. Which is responsible for your resulting rapid heartbeat?
  1. parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system
  2. enteric nervous system
  3. central nervous system
  4. sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system
College Zoology
An invertebrate missing its statoliths would be                                                                                   .
  1. hearing-impaired, but not completely deaf
  2. unable to send action potentials from the ears to the brain
  3. unable to determine which way is up and which way is down
  4. unable to tell the difference between auditory and equilibrium sensory information
College Circulatory and Immune Systems
What are the two phagocytic white blood cells of the innate immune system?
  1. neutrophils and monocytes
  2. B-lymphocytes and eosinophils
  3. eosinophils and monocytes
  4. monocytes and B-lymphocytes
College Scientific Method
What is a theory?
  1. An explanation of an idea that is broad in scope and supported by a large body of evidence.
  2. A concept in the early stages that still needs to be tested.
  3. A description of a belief that invokes the supernatural.
  4. A specific hypothesis that has been proven.
College Zoology
In the study of animal behaviors, which pairing of causation with its question is accurate?
  1. proximate- "What stimulus elicits the behavior?"
  2. ultimate - "What physiological mechanisms mediate the response?"
  3. proximate - "How does the behavior aid in survival and reproduction?"
  4. ultimate - "How does the animal's experience during growth and development influence the response?"
College Adaptations and Behavior
College Zoology
All mammals                                                   .
  1. bear live young
  2. complete their embryonic development in the uterus
  3. nourish their offspring through mammary glands
  4. live on land
College Nervous and Endocrine Systems
College Adaptations and Behavior
Compound eyes are advantageous for small prey species to detect a potential predator because                                                                      .
  1. compound eyes allow animals to detect ultraviolet radiation
  2. with compound eyes, the brain forms many separate visual images
  3. light is not necessary for compound eyes to produce action potentials
  4. they permit sensitive motion detection
