Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-36

-4

36

78


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


2

Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?

65% Answer Correctly

producers and tertiary consumers

herbivores and autotrophs

scavengers and decomposers

primary consumers and omnivores


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


3

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

in plant cells

aerobically

anaerobically

in the presence of oxygen


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


4

The Sun is a __________-type main-sequence star.

64% Answer Correctly

E

D

G

S


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.


5

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

megaphase

anaphase

interphase

cytokinesis


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
