1

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

angle of incidence

focal point

refractive index

90°


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


2

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

49% Answer Correctly

0°F

273K

32°F

0°C


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.


3

The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.

57% Answer Correctly

veins

arteries

red blood cells

capillaries


Solution

Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.


4

DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

genes

nucleotides

gametes

helix


Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.


5

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

122

10

58

-10


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)
