An electrically charged atom is a(n):
electron |
|
proton |
|
neutron |
|
ion |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?
oceanic |
|
terrestrial |
|
metamorphic |
|
sedimentary |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
ovum → zygote → fetus |
|
ovum → fetus → zygote |
|
none of these are correct |
|
zygote → ovum → fetus |
During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
Which of the following describes how a person's genes express themselves in physical characteristics?
genotype |
|
DNA |
|
chromotype |
|
phenotype |
A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.
Convert -20C° to F°.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
