1

Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?

43% Answer Correctly

32°F

-273°C

0K

absolute zero


Solution

Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.


2

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

100

-100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


3

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

54% Answer Correctly

white

plasma

platelets

red


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


4

Which of these is not a type of fat?

76% Answer Correctly

monounsaturated

cholesterol

saturated

polyunsaturated


Solution

Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils).


5

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

50% Answer Correctly

sediment

liquid mantle

water

fault lines


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
