Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?

64% Answer Correctly

breaking down starches

breaking down fats

absorbing nutrients

breaking down proteins

Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth and tongue break down food mechanically through chewing and saliva, via the enzyme salivary amylase, starts to break starches down chemically. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus where contractions push the food into the stomach.


3

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct nearsightedness?

56% Answer Correctly

concave mirror

convex mirror

convex lens

concave lens


Solution

Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.


4

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

cirrus

cumulonimbus

stratus

cumulus


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.


5

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

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

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

\(P = w t\)

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


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).
