Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

-23

27

41

37


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


2

Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.

73% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

scavengers

tertiary consumers

secondary consumers


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


3

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration

photosynthesis

all of these


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


4

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed from the hardening of molten rock?

65% Answer Correctly

metamorphic

igneous

marble

sedimentary


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.


5

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 ML

1 cL

1 mL

1 kL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
