82% Answer Correctly

dominant alleles

phenotypes

both dominant and recessive alleles

recessive alleles

2

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

-23

41

37

27


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


3

During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?

53% Answer Correctly

stomach

large intestine

esophagus

small intestine


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.


4

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


5

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

transport nutrients

add carbon dioxide

transport oxygen

deoxygenate blood


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.
