1

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

aerobically

in plant cells

in the presence of oxygen

anaerobically


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.


2

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


3

Which of these is not a component of blood?

82% Answer Correctly

plasma

marrow

white blood cells

red blood cells


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


4

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

59% Answer Correctly

warm front

stationary front

temperate front

cold front 


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


5

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

veins

arterioles

capillaries

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
