The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed when existing rock is altered through pressure, temperature, or chemical processes?

69% Answer Correctly

igneous

metamorphic

sedimentary

coal


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


2

Tertiary consumers eat which of the following?

60% Answer Correctly

producers

primary and secondary consumers

all of these

decomposers


Solution

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.


3

The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?

66% Answer Correctly

pancreas

liver

small intestine

all of these are correct


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.


4

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

-32

16

0

32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


5

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

58

10

122

-10


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)
