1

Carbohydrates are found in:

88% Answer Correctly

food additives

animal sources

vegetable oils

sugars and starches


Solution

Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).


2

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-40

-8

\({40 \over 9}\)


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


3

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-4

78

-36

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


4

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of protons in the nucleus

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus


Solution

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.


5

Which of the following is sedimentary rock?

74% Answer Correctly

sandstone

obsidian

slate

basalt


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.
