Convert -20C° to F°.
-4 |
|
78 |
|
36 |
|
-36 |
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?
cell membrane |
|
nucleus |
|
cell wall |
|

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
liquid |
|
solid |
|
none of these |
|
gas |

Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?
concave mirror |
|
convex lens |
|
convex mirror |
|
concave lens |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
Absolute zero is which of the following?
the freezing point of hydrogen |
|
0°C |
|
the freezing point of oxygen |
|
the coldest temperature possible in the universe |
In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
