Sample Practice Test Questions
In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?
lactic acid or alcohol
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.
Control arms connect a vehicle's suspension to the frame. The connection to the frame uses:
bushings
Control arms (upper and lower) connect a vehicle's suspension to the frame. The connection to the wheels is through ball joints which allow the control arms to turn and move up and down simultaneously. The frame connection uses bushings.
What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?
producers
Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis
Simplify \( \sqrt{8} \)
To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:
\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
A diode to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a city?
one-way street
A diode allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction.
__________ results from oil buildup in the combustion chamber.
preignition
Preignition results from the buildup of fuel deposits and/or oil in the combustion chamber. These deposits increase chamber pressure and reduce heat tranfer to the coolant. The trapped heat then raises the temperature of the air-fuel mix to the point that it combusts before ignition.
