1

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

in plant cells

aerobically

anaerobically

in the presence of oxygen


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 cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

cytoplasm

Golgi apparatus

mitochondria

nucleus


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


3

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

digestion

respiration

nervous

circulation


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


4

Water has a refractive index of 1.33. Which of the following is true?

64% Answer Correctly

light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water

light is 1.33 times brighter in a vacuum than it is in water

light travels 1.33 times slower in a vacuum than it does in water

light is 1.33 times dimmer in a vacuum than it is in water


Solution

The speed of light varies based on the material that the waves are passing through. The refractive index of a material indicates how easily light travels through it compared to how easily light travels through a vacuum. For example, the refractive index of water is 1.33, meaning that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water.

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

36

-4

-36

78


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
