1

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

16

32

-32

0


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


2

What part of the nervous system is responsible for controlling involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat?

63% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebellum

spinal cord

cerebrum


Solution

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.


3

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

period

atomic number

group

family


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


4

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

-23

37

41

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

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, high

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, low


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
