In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:
glycerol and fatty acids |
|
complex carbohydrates |
|
simple sugars |
|
amino acids |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?
lactic acid or alcohol |
|
starches |
|
ascorbic acid or peptides |
|
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.
Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
equal numbers of |
|
fewer |
|
more |
|
double the number of |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base.
mid-altitude |
|
all-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
none of these |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity: \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\). Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.
