In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?

63% Answer Correctly

animals

bacteria

fungi

plants


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


3

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

warmer, cooler

cooler, warmer

dense, empty

empty, dense


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


4

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

bone

exoskeleton

vertebrate

endoskeleton


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.


5

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

122

58

10

-10


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)
