212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

0

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

100

-100


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


2

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

gel

solid

liquid

gas


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


3

Carbohydrates are found in:

89% Answer Correctly

food additives

vegetable oils

animal sources

sugars and starches


Solution

Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).


4

The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?

63% Answer Correctly

in the Kuiper Belt

in the asteroid belt

between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn

outside the solar system


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.


5

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

decomposers

producers

secondary consumers

primary consumers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis
