In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

domains

species

classes

kingdoms


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


2

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

-10

58

122

10


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


3

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

momentum

velocity

acceleration

mass


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

Secondary consumers that also eat producers are known as:

62% Answer Correctly

scavengers

herbivores

omnivores

carnivores


Solution

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


5

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?

52% Answer Correctly

is a yellow dwarf star

is composed of hydrogen and helium

formed 2.6 billion years ago

makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
