Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

78

-4

-36

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


2

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

deoxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


3

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

capillaries

aorta

arterioles

veins


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


4

Secondary consumers that also eat producers are known as:

62% Answer Correctly

carnivores

omnivores

scavengers

herbivores


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


5

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
