-40°F is how many °C?
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
-8 |
|
-40 |
|
\({40 \over 9}\) |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?
primary or tertiary consumers |
|
secondary consumers or scavengers |
|
primary or secondary consumers |
|
secondary or tertiary consumers |
Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.
The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?
plates |
|
continents |
|
metamorphic rock |
|
sedimentary rock |
The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?
comets have an atmosphere |
|
comets orbit the Sun |
|
asteroids have a coma |
|
asteroids contain frozen water |
A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.
Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?
right atrium |
|
left ventricle |
|
aorta |
|
pulmonary vein |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
