54% Answer Correctly

	cows
	rats
	all of these
	fish

Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus. Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

	mass depends on the location where it is measured
	weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity
	mass is the amount of matter something has
	weight depends on the location where it is measured

Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

	36
	-4
	78
	-36

Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)

Examples of tertiary consumers include:

73% Answer Correctly

	fish
	sharks
	cows
	chickens

Solution

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.

94% Answer Correctly

	English system
	American system
	metric system
	British system
