In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:

64% Answer Correctly

glycerol and fatty acids

simple sugars

complex carbohydrates


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.

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?

75% Answer Correctly

cold

warm 

stationary

occluded


Solution

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.


3

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

a force

kinetic energy

power

Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


4

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

-23

41

37

27


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


5

An asteroid belt holds many of the asteroids in our solar system. It is located between the orbits of which planets?

59% Answer Correctly

Mars and Jupiter

Mercury and Venus

Jupiter and Saturn

Mars and Earth


Solution

The solar system also contains over a million rocky fragments of at least 1km in diameter called asteroids as well as millions more with smaller diameters. Many of these asteroids are an asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
