NES 103 STUDY Questions with Correct Solutions
arithmetic sequences
Sequences that have a common difference are called?
The common difference in the sequence is the amount of change that is added or subtracted to
get from one term to the next term in the sequence.
geometric sequences
Sequences that have a common ratio, or multiplier, are called?
The common ratio in the sequence is the amount you multiply by to get from one term to the
next.
Input
The independent variable is the input into a function and represents the variable that is known.
Normally, it is represented by the variable x.
output
The dependent variable is the output of a function and is the result after solving the function
using the independent variable. It is commonly represented by the variable y.
The dependent variable (y) depends on the independent variable (x).
function table
is a table that describes a function by displaying inputs and corresponding outputs in a table
which of the following is true of evolution?
, Evolution can indeed result in new species over many years.
Which of the following gives the correct equation for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide + water + light energy -> oxygen + glucose
Which of the following is the the correct order of organization, from smallest to largest,
within animals?
cell, tissue, organ, organ system
What phenomenon has resulted in hundreds of new species of corn within the last few
decades?
selective breeding...Humans have selectively bred corn to fit different needs, creating new
species.
A group of students are watching an organism they found in the corner of the classroom.
Their science teacher walks over to the group and quickly identifies the organism as a
member of the insecta class. The students ask how the teacher can tell so quickly. Which of
the following would be an appropriate answer by the teacher?
because the organism has three pairs of legs.
By definition, insects have a three-part body, three pairs of jointed legs, and one pair of antennae.
Which human bodily process aids in maintaining homeostasis?
Shivering when cold.
Shivering helps maintain stable body temperature which aids in maintain homeostasis.
