1

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-4

36

78

-36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


2

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 mL

1 ML

1 cL

1 kL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.


3

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

producers

simple nutrients

complex carbohydrates

carrion


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


4

A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic

all of these are correct

a sound wave is much slower than a light wave

a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum


Solution

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.


5

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

65% Answer Correctly

fat

protein

sugars

starches


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
