1

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-4

-36

36

78


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


2

62% Answer Correctly

bronchioles

capillaries

diaphragms

blood cells


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.


3

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:

61% Answer Correctly

diffusion

conduction

convection

radiation


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee. 


4

The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

troposphere

stratosphere

mesosphere

thermosphere


Solution

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.


5

Which of blood component carries oxygen?

83% Answer Correctly

plasma

white blood cells

red blood cells

platelets


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
