vPREFACEIn most post-secondary courses, a large percentage of student assessment is based on multiple-choicetesting. Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it is a methodology best usedfor testing what a studentremembersrather than what she or he haslearned.Nelson Education Ltd. understands that a good quality multiple-choice test bank can provide the meansto measurehigher-level thinkingskills as well as recall. Recognizing the importance of multiple-choicetesting in today’s classroom, we have createdNETA—theNelsonEducationTeachingAdvantageprogram—to ensure the value of our high quality test banks.The NETA program was created in partnership with David DiBattista, a 3M National Teaching Fellow,professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiple-choice testing.NETA ensures that subject-matter experts who author test banks have had training in two areas:avoiding common errors in test construction, and developing multiple-choice test questions that “getbeyond remembering” to assess higher-level thinking.All NETA test banks include David DiBattista’s guide for instructors, “Multiple Choice Tests: GettingBeyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nelson test banks toachieve your desired outcomes in your course.The Test Bank for Martin Zinke-Allmang, Ken Sills, Reza Nejat, and Eduardo Galiano-Riveros,Physics for the Life Sciences, Second Edition has been written by Vesna Milosevic-Zdjelar and MurrayE. Alexander, University of Winnipeg. The multiple-choice questions were written and edited toconform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the development of higher-order thinking and theeffective construction of questions. NETA principles of question construction help eliminateambiguity, arguable answers, guesswork, and unconscious cues to test-savvy students, resulting in atest that accurately reflects student understanding. This Test Bank offers over1000questions,including over500multiple-choice,255true/false, and255essay questions.In addition to providing a variety of questions related to each chapter topic, this test bank also employsa series of tags that can help design effective, balanced tests by the measure of course outcomes. All ofthe tags are included with the question in the test bank. These tags include:•ANS: The correct answer. (Suggested answers are provided for the essay questions.)•RAT: The rationale for the correct answer.•PTS:The number of points an instructor can assign for each question. The default is 1 point.•REF: The textbook page reference.•BLM: The category from Bloom’s taxonomy for learning (Remember or Higher Order).

CHAPTER 1—PHYSICS AND THE LIFE SCIENCESMULTIPLE CHOICE1.The principle of Occam's Razor is a principle of reasoning; what does it say we should generally do?a.Prefer simpler or more parsimonious explanations to the more complicated ones.b.Reason from detailed particular observations to general or universal principles.c.Accept nothing as true without compelling empirical or mathematical evidence of its truth.d.Reason from general or universal principles to particular results.ANS:ARAT:The principle is often inaccurately summarized as "the simplest explanation is most likely thecorrect one."

1-7TRUE/FALSE1.In creating of a model which would explain a certain physical concept, observations and collected dataare most useful for proving that the model is a true representation of a concept.ANS:FRAT:Observations are testing predictions of a model.PTS:1REF:p. 4BLM: Higher Order2.The calculator can hold only a few significant digits. When adding a set of positive numbers of widelyvarying magnitude on a calculator, in order to get the most accurate result one should start at thelargest number and add successively smaller ones.ANS:FRAT:One should start at the smallest number and add successively larger numbers. The calculatorcan hold only a few significant digits, so adding a small number to a larger one will result in losing theleast significant digits, while adding several small numbers may accumulate to a larger number withmore significant digits, so that rounding off to the appropriate number of significant figures wouldprovide a more accurate result.PTS:1REF:p. 4BLM: Higher Order3.A precise measurement is not necessarily an accurate one.ANS:TRAT:Example: scale can be very precise but not set to zero, so it does not show accurate weight.PTS:1REF:p. 5BLM: Higher Order4.When adding or subtracting numbers, the result has the same precision as the least precise numberused in the calculation.ANS:TRAT:When adding or subtracting numbers, the result has the same precision as the least precisenumber used in the calculation.PTS:1REF:p. 5BLM: Remember5.Numbers 20 and 20.0 have the same number of significant figures.ANS:FRAT:No, in 20, only 2 is significant, trailing zero is not, in 20.0 both zeros are significant because ofdecimal point.PTS:1REF:p. 5BLM: Higher Order
