1

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

64% Answer Correctly

starches

lactic acid or alcohol

water

ascorbic acid or peptides


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

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


3

__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.

65% Answer Correctly

iron, calcium

vitamin D, magnesium

calcium, vitamin A

vitamin D, calcium


Solution

Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.


4

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

65% Answer Correctly

fat

protein

sugars

starches


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.


5

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromatids

nuclei

cells

chromosomes


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.
