In the foood chain, producers serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through:

47% Answer Correctly

chemosynthesis

photosynthesis

decomposition

autotrophs


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis


2

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 mL

1 ML

1 kL

1 cL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.


3

The four planets closest to the Sun are called terrestrial. What does terrestrial mean?

74% Answer Correctly

the planets have water

the planets are Earth-like

the planets have magnetic fields

the planets have moons


Solution

The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.


4

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

photosynthesis

anaerobic respiration

all of these

aerobic respiration


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.


5

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

phenotypes

both dominant and recessive alleles

recessive alleles

dominant alleles


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.
