1

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

27

41

37

-23


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


2

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

both evaporation and transpiration

evaporation

transpiration

precipitation


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


3

Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

AO

AB

O

B


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


4

In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:

64% Answer Correctly

amino acids

complex carbohydrates

simple sugars

glycerol and fatty acids


Solution

The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion.  Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.


5

The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water

minerals

frozen methane, ammonia, and water

rock


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.
