1

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

decomposers

primary consumers

secondary consumers

producers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis


2

Examples of secondary consumers include:

52% Answer Correctly

wolves

plankton

chickens

grasshoppers


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


3

57% Answer Correctly

results

products

reactants

side effects


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


4

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

species

domain

genus

family


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-40

-8

\({40 \over 9}\)


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)
