In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?
lactic acid or alcohol |
|
starches |
|
ascorbic acid or peptides |
|
water |
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.
Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?
stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
thermosphere |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?
a force |
|
kinetic energy |
|
power |
|
work |
Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?
continents |
|
inner core |
|
outer core |
|
mantle |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
The large intestine does which of the following?
processes the physical waste produced by digestion |
|
breaks down starches |
|
breaks down fats |
|
breaks down proteins |
The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.
