1

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

in the presence of oxygen

in plant cells

anaerobically

aerobically


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

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

oxygenated, high

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, low


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.

4

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

thermosphere

mesosphere

troposphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


5
