2

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

-23

37

41

27


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


3

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

transport oxygen

transport nutrients

deoxygenate blood

add carbon dioxide


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


4

What is a major difference between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems?

82% Answer Correctly

one controls voluntary activity, one controls involuntary activity

one is inherited, the other is learned

each belongs to a different nervous system

one controls thinking, the other controls feeling


Solution

Both are part of the peripheral nervous system. The somatic nervous system sends sensory information to the central nervous system and controls voluntary actions while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.


5

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

similarly complex

less complex

none of these

more complex


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.
