1

The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?

65% Answer Correctly

liver

small intestine

all of these are correct

pancreas


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.

86% Answer Correctly

similar density

similar moisture

similar temperature

all of these

3

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:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


4

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

79% Answer Correctly

neutron

electron

atom

proton


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.


5

Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

62% Answer Correctly

same poles repel each other

opposite poles attract each other

opposite poles repel each other

all of these are untrue


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
