212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

-100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

100

0


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


2

An asteroid belt holds many of the asteroids in our solar system. It is located between the orbits of which planets?

59% Answer Correctly

Mercury and Venus

Mars and Earth

Mars and Jupiter

Jupiter and Saturn


Solution

The solar system also contains over a million rocky fragments of at least 1km in diameter called asteroids as well as millions more with smaller diameters. Many of these asteroids are an asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

only a cell wall

a cell membrane and a cell wall

only a cell membrane

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


4

Veins carry blood __________ the heart.

55% Answer Correctly

away from

all of these

within

back to 


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


5

80% Answer Correctly

electron

proton

neutron
