1

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-4

78

-36

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


2

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

68% Answer Correctly

reflection

conduction

radiation

convection


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.


3

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

more complex

less complex

none of these

similarly complex


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.


4

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed when existing rock is altered through pressure, temperature, or chemical processes?

69% Answer Correctly

coal

sedimentary

igneous

metamorphic


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


5

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

nuclei

chromatids

cells

chromosomes


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.
