1

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

cumulonimbus

cumulus

stratus

cirrus


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


2

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = w t\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


3

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

aerobically

in the presence of oxygen

anaerobically

in plant cells


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


4

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

-100

100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


5

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

simple nutrients

complex carbohydrates

producers

carrion


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.
