2

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

-10

58

10

122


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


3

81% Answer Correctly

endoskeleton

exoskeleton

bone

vertebrate


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

domains

species

classes

kingdoms


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


5

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

decomposers

primary consumers

producers

secondary consumers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis
