1

Carbohydrates are found in:

88% Answer Correctly

vegetable oils

sugars and starches

food additives

animal sources


Solution

Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).


2

Blood is created in:

68% Answer Correctly

the liver

bone marrow

red blood cells

the heart


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.


3

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

reactants

products

side effects

results


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


4

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-36

-4

36

78


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


5

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

only a cell wall

a cell membrane and a cell wall

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

only a cell membrane


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
