Tertiary consumers eat which of the following?

60% Answer Correctly

primary and secondary consumers

all of these

producers

decomposers


Solution

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.


2

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electrons

number of atomic mass units

number of electron shells

number of electrons in their outer electron shell


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


3

A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these are correct

a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic

a sound wave is much slower than a light wave

a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum


Solution

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.


4

In the food chain, bacteria and fungi convert the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. Bacteria and fungi are:

86% Answer Correctly

producers

scavengers

primary consumers

decomposers


Solution

Decomposers (saprotrophs) are organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients.

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

122

58

-10

10


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)
