Sample Practice Test Questions
I biome is made up of naturally occurring flora and fauna. Fauna is which of the following?
animals
A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
Friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other is called:
static friction
Static friction is friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other. An example is the friction that prevents a box on a sloped surface from sliding farther down the surface.
Which of the following maintains pressure in the cooling system?
radiator cap
The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to the outside air. Radiator hoses transfer coolant to and from the engine to the radiator and a radiator cap maintains pressure in the cooling system to increase the boiling point of the coolant mixture and thus allow it to absorb more heat.
A cylinders acts as a guide for a:
piston
Cylinders act as a guide for the pistons that translate the heat energy of combustion into the mechanical energy necessary to move a vehicle. Piston rings seal the piston to the cylinder to contain combustion gases and also regulate the oil distribution between the piston and cylinder wall. A cylinder head closes in the top of the cylinder forming the combustion chamber which is sealed by a head gasket (head). The head provides space for air and fuel intake valves, exhaust valves, and mounts for spark plugs and fuel injectors.
The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?
all of these are correct
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.
least common multiple
The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.
The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:
transport oxygen
Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.
Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
warmer, cooler
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
