Cellular fermentation takes place:
in the presence of oxygen |
|
in plant cells |
|
aerobically |
|
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.
Which of these is not a phase in cell division?
megaphase |
|
interphase |
|
anaphase |
|
cytokinesis |
Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
The rate of vibration of sound is called:
period |
|
frequency |
|
volume |
|
amplitude |
The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
The biosphere consists of which of the following?
hydrosphere |
|
atmosphere |
|
all of these |
|
lithosphere |
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
