Which of these digestive enzymes is not produced by the pancreas?
gastric acid |
|
lipase |
|
trypsin |
|
pancreatic amylase |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?
convex mirror |
|
concave lens |
|
concave mirror |
|
convex lens |
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.
In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:
amino acids |
|
complex carbohydrates |
|
simple sugars |
|
glycerol and fatty acids |

Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?
inner core |
|
outer core |
|
mantle |
|
continents |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.

|

|
spiny |
