Sample Practice Test Questions
In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.
right, left
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
Solve for a:
9a - 9 < \( \frac{a}{5} \)
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.
9a - 9 < \( \frac{a}{5} \)
5 x (9a - 9) < a
(5 x 9a) + (5 x -9) < a
45a - 45 < a
45a - 45 - a < 0
45a - a < 45
44a < 45
a < \( \frac{45}{44} \)
a < 1\(\frac{1}{44}\)
DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?
nucleotides
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.
Which of these numbers is a factor of 72?
The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.
A constant velocity (CV) joint is closely related to which of the following?
universal joint
Like CV joints, universal joints (U-joints) are located at each end of a drive shaft and allow the shaft to operate at a variable angle with the item it is driving. Universal joints perform the same basic function as CV joints but CV joints have a wider range of operation.
a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?
distributive property for multiplication
The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.
In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:
cells
During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.
