1

Examples of tertiary consumers include:

73% Answer Correctly

chickens

fish

cows

sharks


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.


2

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

-100

100

0


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


3

In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

primary or secondary consumers

secondary or tertiary consumers

secondary consumers or scavengers

primary or tertiary consumers


Solution

Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.


4

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

number of electrons

number of atomic mass units

number of electron shells


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


5

The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

thermosphere


Solution

Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.
