Which of the following elements does not have a noble gas configuration?
(A) Na
(B) He
(C) Ar
(D) Ne
(E) they are all noble gases

(A) solid
(B) liquid
(C) gas
(D) plasma
(E) none of the above

(B) Air is a mixture of different gases.
(C) Air density varies with temperature.
(D) Air contains water vapor.
(E) Air has a low heat capacity



Which of the following is true about prokaryotic cells?
(A) They are generally larger than eukaryotic cells.
(B) Their DNA is single-stranded rather than double-stranded.
(C) They have a cell wall instead of a plasma membrane.
(D) Their chromosomes are typically circular rather than linear.

A population of seed-eating birds exhibits variation in the size of their beaks, with a mean beak size of 12 mm. Beak size is a heritable character that affects the size of seeds a bird may consume (e.g., larger beaks can crack larger seeds). After a drought, plants that produce smaller seeds are rare, but plants that produce larger seeds are still common.
Which of the following evolutionary mechanisms will most influence the beak size of the bird population after a drought?
(A) Genetic drift
(B) Gene flow
(C) Natural selection
(D) Sexual selection
(E) Mutation

A person drops a rock from a height of 12 meters above Earth’s surface. The rock starts at rest and falls to the ground. At what height does the rock achieve half of its maximum kinetic energy?
(A) 12 meters
(B) 9 meters
(C) 6 meters
(D) 3 meters
(E) 0 meters

Which of the following best describes the moon as it appears from Earth when the moon-Earth-sun angle is about 45 degrees?
(A) A full moon
(B) A crescent moon
(C) A gibbous moon
(D) A half moon
(E) A new moon

The atomic masses of carbon and oxygen are 12 and 16, respectively. What is the approximate percent by mass of oxygen in carbon dioxide,
CO2?
(A) 25%
(B) 50%
(C) 66%
(D) 75%
(E) 85%
