What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?

70% Answer Correctly

brainstem

medulla

cerebrum

cerebellum


Solution

2

Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?

42% Answer Correctly

hydrogen

acid

ion

base


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.

Menstruation occurs when:

76% Answer Correctly

the ovum fails to become fertilized

the zygote is formed

the fetus is formed 

the ovum becomes fertilized


Solution

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

-100

100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

liquid

gel

gas

solid


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.
