1

The Sun is a __________-type main-sequence star.

64% Answer Correctly

S

D

G

E


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.


2

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

starches

ascorbic acid or peptides

water

lactic acid or alcohol


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


3

Which of the following substances gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water?

55% Answer Correctly

acid

alkaline

solution

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.


4

__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.

65% Answer Correctly

vitamin D, magnesium

iron, calcium

vitamin D, calcium

calcium, vitamin A


Solution

Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.


5

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

100

-100

0


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)
