1

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

ascorbic acid or peptides

lactic acid or alcohol

water

starches


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

In the metric system, what prefix represents 103?

61% Answer Correctly

mega

milli

kilo

centi


Solution

Kilo is the metric system prefix for 103.


3

These clouds grow upward and can develop into cumulonimbus or thunderstorm clouds.

70% Answer Correctly

cumulus clouds

cirrus clouds

stratus clouds

nimbus clouds


Solution

Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.


4

The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

troposphere

stratosphere

mesosphere

thermosphere


Solution

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.


5

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
