Biology
The powerhouse of the cell A: Mitochondria, B: Cell Wall, C: Chloroplast, D: Kidney
What is A. Mitochondria. Responsible for energy production in the cell. Plays an imperative role in cellular respiration.
Two lines that never intersect A: Linear, B: Transparent, C: Perpendicular, D: Parallel
What is D. Parallel: Parallel lines are lines that are always the same distance apart.
This type of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape... A: Solids, B: Liquids, C: Gases, D: Plasma
What is B. Liquids. Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape. Because the intermolecular forces are weak in a liquid, it is able to change its shape to conform to its container.

What is C. Sperm Whales. They have the heaviest brain of any living animal. The average Sperm Whale's brain weighs more than 20 pounds (9 kilograms) which is about 4 times heavier than the average human brain.
Longest side in a right triangle A: Adjacent, B: Hypotenuse, C: Opposite, D: Similar
What is B. Hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the side opposite the right angle.
The element has the symbol Au. A: Nitrogen, B: Gold, C: Hydrogen, D: Silver
Who is B. Gold. It is a good thermal and electrical conductor and soft yellow element.
Days in one leap year... A: 366 B: 200 C: 365 D: 10,000

Largest human cell A: Liver, B: Eggs, C: Brain, D: Stomach
What is B. Eggs. Egg cells are the biggest cells in the human body (ovum). They are 20 times larger than sperm cells and have a diameter of roughly 0.1 millimetres.
Geometric term for a 2-dimensional flat surface? A: Soda, B: Vertex, C: Square , D: A plane
What is D. Plane. A plane is a flat, two-dimensional surface that extends indefinitely.
Number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines... A: The size, B: Number of protons, C: Number of neutrons, D: Atomic Number
What is D. Atomic Number: the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Date of Pi Day... A: March 14 B: April 14 C: March 24 D: February 6
What is A. March 14. Founded by physicist Larry Shaw. The date, March 14, is spherical.

Kingdom that a human would be in. A: Phylum, B: Archaea, C: Bacteria, D: Animal
What is a D. Animal. Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen
The interior angles of any triangle add up to... A: 50 degrees B: 65 degrees, C: 180 degrees, D: 90 degrees
What is C: 180 degrees. A straight angle. The sides of the angle are opposite to each other and they make a straight angle on a straight line through the vertex.
Term used for the perimeter of a circle? A: Circumference B: Circular C: tap water D: Edge
What is A. Circumference. The length of one complete 'lap' around a circle.

6 (Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Military Science, Physics & Astronomy, Mathematics, and Geology & Georgraphy)
This animal has the highest blood pressure... A: Giraffe, B: Blue Whale, C: Elephant, D: Flea
What is A: Giraffe. Because of its extremely long neck, the giraffe must rely on its oversized heart (two feet long and twenty-five pounds!) to pump blood all the way to its head. As a result, the giraffe has the highest blood pressure of any animal: 280/180 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) at heart level when prone -- more than twice the blood pressure of an average human. Not surprisingly, because of their high blood pressure, giraffes are prone to heart attacks.
The distance called between two points of a sphere along its surface? A: Geomatic, B: The Great-circle distance, C: The whole distance, D: The crazy distance
What is B. The Great-circle distance: The Great-circle distance is the distance along a great circle.
Sodium Chloride is known as... A: Gas, B: Salt, C: Butter, D: Plastic
What is B. Salt. Sodium Chloride is also used in IV infusions to help prevent patients from becoming dehydrated.
Four-fifths in decimal form... A: 2.0 B: 0.8 C: 5.2 D: 7.6
What is B. 0.8.
