3

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

82% Answer Correctly

reflectors

conductors

refractors

insulators


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


4

47% Answer Correctly

gametes

nucleotides

helix

genes


Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.
