Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

37

41

-23

27


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


5

64% Answer Correctly

complex carbohydrates

simple sugars

glycerol and fatty acids

amino acids


Solution

The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion.  Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
