Which of the following is not part of the carbon cycle?

59% Answer Correctly

respiration

precipitation

photosynthesis

decomposition


Solution

The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.


2

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-36

78

36

-4


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


3

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the __________ to help break down protein.

77% Answer Correctly

large intestine

small intestine

mouth

stomach


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.


4

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

90°

angle of incidence

refractive index

focal point


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


5

79% Answer Correctly

atom

electron

neutron

proton


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
