In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

lactic acid or alcohol

ascorbic acid or peptides

2

Antigens in the blood determine:

53% Answer Correctly

blood type

negative or positive status

blood oxygen capacity

Rh factor


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


3

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

angle of incidence

refractive index

90°

focal point


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


4

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

65% Answer Correctly

protein

sugars

fat

starches


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.


5

Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the shortest time period? 

57% Answer Correctly

period

age

eon

epoch


Solution

The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.
