1

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

-10

10

58

122


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


2

In which type of compound are electrons shared between atoms?

56% Answer Correctly

ionic

molecular

chemical

covalent


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


3

Menstruation occurs when:

76% Answer Correctly

the ovum becomes fertilized

the ovum fails to become fertilized

the zygote is formed

the fetus is formed 


Solution

If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).


4

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

pancreas

large intestine

stomach

small intestine


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.


5

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

geosphere

hydrosphere

atmosphere

lithosphere


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).
