87% Answer Correctly

similar density

similar moisture

similar temperature

2

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

58

10

-10

122


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 these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?

52% Answer Correctly

store vitamins

produce blood cells

protect bodily organs

store minerals


Solution

Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.


4

The biosphere consists of which of the following?

87% Answer Correctly

all of these

lithosphere

atmosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


5

Meteoroids, meteors and meteorites are categorized based on which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

their density

their location

their temperature

their size


Solution

Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
