-40°F is how many °C?
\({40 \over 9}\) |
|
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
-40 |
|
-8 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:
hydrosphere |
|
lithosphere |
|
atmosphere |
|
geosphere |
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).

vertebrate |
|
sentient |
|
arthropod |
|
spiny |
An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.
DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?
gametes |
|
genes |
|
nucleotides |
|
helix |
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.
What is the body's largest artery?
capillary |
|
aorta |
|
vena cava |
|
arteriole |
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.
