Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

epiglottis

nasal cavity

trachea

pharynx


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.

The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:

63% Answer Correctly

families

periods

shells

groups


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number. 


3

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

41

37

-23

27


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


4

Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?

59% Answer Correctly

solid

none of these is a medium for sound waves

liquid

vacuum


Solution

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.


5

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

protons

electron shells

electrons

atomic mass units


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
