1

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

in plant cells

in the presence of oxygen

aerobically

anaerobically


Solution

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.


2

A transition zone between two air masses is called:

71% Answer Correctly

thunderstorm

boundary

front

fog


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


3

In the food chain, consumers are classified as which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

tertiary

primary

secondary

all of these


Solution

Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.


4

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

55% Answer Correctly

primarily solid

primarily liquid

solid

liquid


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

\({40 \over 9}\)

-40

-8


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)
