89% Answer Correctly

vegetable oils

food additives

animal sources

2

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

-100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0

100


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


3

A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:

75% Answer Correctly

a dominant trait

a recessive trait

a gene

a chromosome


Solution

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.


4

In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

secondary or tertiary consumers

primary or secondary consumers

secondary consumers or scavengers

primary or tertiary consumers


Solution

Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.


5

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

lithosphere

atmosphere

geosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
