1

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\({40 \over 9}\)

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-40

-8


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


2

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

71% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

lithosphere

atmosphere

geosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


3

85% Answer Correctly

vertebrate

sentient

arthropod

spiny


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


4

DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

gametes

genes

nucleotides

helix


Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.


5

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

capillary

aorta

vena cava

arteriole


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
