1

Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:

82% Answer Correctly

protein

fiber

unsaturated fat

saturated fat


Solution

Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.


2

Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?

56% Answer Correctly

metamorphic

oceanic

sedimentary

terrestrial


Solution

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.


3

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

stomach

pancreas

small intestine

large intestine


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


4

Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

a magnitude and a direction

a direction and a polarity

a direction only

a magnitude only


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:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-4

-36

78

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
