212°F is how many °C?
100 |
|
0 |
|
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |
|
-100 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
Which of the following is true about species groups?
a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres |
|
a community is made up of a group of populations |
|
a population is made up of a group of communities |
|

Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the longest time period?
age |
|
eon |
|
epoch |
|
era |
The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.
The connective tissue that connects bones to other bones at joints is called:
tendons |
|
cartilage |
|
knuckles |
|
ligaments |
Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).
Plant cells are surrounded by:
only a cell wall |
|
a cell membrane and a cell wall |
|
only a cell membrane |
|
neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall |
Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
