In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?
lactic acid or alcohol |
|
ascorbic acid or peptides |
|
starches |
|
water |
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.
A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:
a dominant trait |
|
a recessive trait |
|
a gene |
|
a chromosome |
The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive. A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.
Small rocks shed by asteroids and comets that reach the earth are called:
meteoroids |
|
meteors |
|
shooting stars |
|
meteorites |
Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
primarily liquid |
|
solid |
|
primarily solid |
|
liquid |
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.
Convert -20C° to F°.
-36 |
|
36 |
|
78 |
|
-4 |
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
