d. All of the above
2. At night, if a torch is pointed at a cats eyes they reflect light back to the source. Why
does this phenomenon occur?
a. To scare away predators
b. To attract mates
c. To increase sensitivity to low light
d. It is just a side-effect of photoreceptor function
3. A person throws a ball across a field. When the ball is at the highest point of its
trajectory, the direction of its velocity and acceleration are
a. parallel to each other
b. anti-parallel to each other
c. inclined to each other at an angle of 45
d. 90 to each other
4. If the radius and height of a cone are both increased by 100%, then its volume is
increased by
a. 400%
b. 300%
c. 200%
d. 100%
5. If the average of X, 2X+5, X+6 and 45 is 29, whats X?
a. 15
b. 20
c. 24
d. 32
6. The Doppler effect causes a change in the perceived frequency of a moving source of
sound. Suppose an ambulance is moving with constant speed down a road, and a listener
is standing next to the road on a footpath. Why does the frequency of the ambulance siren
appear to change most abruptly when it passes closest to the listener?
a. Because this is where the greatest change of relative velocity occurs
b. Because the Doppler effect acts most strongly at short distances
c. Because human hearing is more sensitive to the frequency of louder sounds
d. All of the above
7. A goat consumes 2 kg of grass per day, and a cow consumes 4 kg of grass per day.
Two pairs of goats and one pair of cattle are released in a sanctuary with a total biomass
of 16,000 kg of grass at the time of release. The growth rate of grass accounts for an
increase of 1000 kg every 100 days. How much grass stands after 1000 days?
a. 100 kg
b. 500 kg
c. 1,000 kg
d. 10,000 kg
8. You have caught 100 flies, marked them, and released them back in a greenhouse of
area 100 m
2
. Assume the fly population doubles every 4 days; assume no flies die. After
12 days, you catch 400 flies and find that 10 out of them are marked. What is your
estimate of the number of flies in the greenhouse at the start of your experiment?
a. 500
b. 800
c. 1,000
d. 4,000
9. In his 2001 book What Evolution Is Ernst Mayr has said that behavior is the
pacemaker of evolution. The most appropriate way to refer to this and avoid plagiarism
is to note:
a. Behaviour is the timekeeper of evolutionary processes.
b. Behaviour is the pacemaker for evolutionary processes (Mayr, 2001).
c. Behaviour is the pacemaker of evolution (Mayr, 2001).
d. Any of the above
