1

In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:

64% Answer Correctly

glycerol and fatty acids

simple sugars

complex carbohydrates

amino acids


Solution

The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion.  Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.


2

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

in plant cells

anaerobically

aerobically

in the presence of oxygen


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

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

endoplasmic reticulum

all of these deal with proteins

ribosomes


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.


4

Which of these digestive enzymes is not produced by the pancreas?

63% Answer Correctly

trypsin

pancreatic amylase

gastric acid

lipase


Solution

The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion.  Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.

"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

73% Answer Correctly

fourth

first

second

third


Solution

Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
