1

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

-100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0

100


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


2

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

digestive

circulatory

nervous

reproductive


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.


3

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromosomes

nuclei

chromatids

cells


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


4

Regulation of heart rhythm occurs in:

61% Answer Correctly

cerebellum

cerebrum

medulla

nerves


Solution

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.


5

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?

64% Answer Correctly

convex lens

concave lens

convex mirror

concave mirror


Solution

Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
