47% Answer Correctly

chemosynthesis

photosynthesis

autotrophs

decomposition

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

-10

10

58

122


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


3

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

61% Answer Correctly

genotype

DNA

phenotype

chromotype


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

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

28% Answer Correctly

rain

ice

snow or ice

snow


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.


5
