The large intestine does which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

breaks down proteins

breaks down fats

processes the physical waste produced by digestion

breaks down starches


Solution

The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.

53% Answer Correctly

grasshoppers

chickens

wolves

plankton

3

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

37

41

27

-23


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

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

86% Answer Correctly

spiny

arthropod

sentient

vertebrate


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


5

Absolute zero is which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

the freezing point of hydrogen

the coldest temperature possible in the universe

the freezing point of oxygen

0°C


Solution

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
