Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

aerobically

in plant cells

anaerobically

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

A __________ is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. 

72% Answer Correctly

neutron

isotope

molecule

ion


Solution

A molecule is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. The molecules of elements consist of two or more similar atoms, the molecules of compounds consist of two or more different atoms.


4

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

simple nutrients

complex carbohydrates

carrion

producers


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


5

A transition zone between two air masses is called:

71% Answer Correctly

thunderstorm

fog

front

boundary


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
