Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-36

-4

78

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)

Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?

65% Answer Correctly

primary consumers and omnivores

herbivores and autotrophs

producers and tertiary consumers

scavengers and decomposers


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


3

Which of the following describes how a person's genes express themselves in physical characteristics?

61% Answer Correctly

DNA

phenotype

chromotype

genotype


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.


4

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

coldest

farthest from the surface

hottest

closest to the surface


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
