2

In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:

64% Answer Correctly

amino acids

glycerol and fatty acids

simple sugars

complex carbohydrates


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.


3

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

54% Answer Correctly

platelets

white

red

plasma


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


4

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

75% Answer Correctly

a population

a biome

a community

a food chain


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).


5

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

-8

\({40 \over 9}\)

-40

\(-{40 \over 9}\)


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)
