1

Which of the following is not a base unit in the metric system?

88% Answer Correctly

meter

degree Fahrenheit

gram

liter


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale is used for measuring temperature in the British system. The metric system uses the Celsius scale.


2

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 mL

1 ML

1 cL

1 kL


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

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


4

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

water

ascorbic acid or peptides

starches

lactic acid or alcohol


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.


5

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

pancreas

large intestine

stomach

small intestine


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
