In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
oxygen
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?
Odd
To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.
Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?
pharynx
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
Factor y2 - 4y - 32
To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -32 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -4. For this problem, those two numbers are -8 and 4. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):
y2 - 4y - 32
y2 + (-8 + 4)y + (-8 x 4)
(y - 8)(y + 4)
The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:
atmosphere
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?
small intestine
Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
