Convert -20C° to F°.
-4 |
|
-36 |
|
78 |
|
36 |
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
The brain and spinal cord make up the __________ nervous system.
somatic |
|
autonomic |
|
peripheral |
|
central |
The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.
Which of the following is not part of the carbon cycle?
respiration |
|
photosynthesis |
|
precipitation |
|
decomposition |
The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.
Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
diaphragms |
|
bronchioles |
|
capillaries |
|
blood cells |
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?
atomic weight |
|
atomic number |
|
number of electron shells |
|
atomic mass |
The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.
