Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

-23

27

37

41


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

secondary consumers

producers

decomposers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis


3

The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?

71% Answer Correctly

sound radiation

refraction

reflection

Doppler effect


Solution

The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.


4

Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

expressed

all of these

dominant

recessive


Solution

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.
