1

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

mitochondria

water

sugar

oxygen


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


2

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

46% Answer Correctly

comets orbit the Sun

comets have an atmosphere

asteroids have a coma

asteroids contain frozen water


Solution

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.


3

Menstruation occurs when:

76% Answer Correctly

the zygote is formed

the ovum fails to become fertilized

the ovum becomes fertilized

the fetus is formed 


Solution

If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).


4

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


5

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. 

63% Answer Correctly

mid-altitude

low-altitude

high-altitude

all-altitude


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
