In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
water |
|
oxygen |
|
mitochondria |
|
sugar |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
Which of the following describes how a person's genes express themselves in physical characteristics?
chromotype |
|
phenotype |
|
DNA |
|
genotype |
A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?
makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system |
|
is a yellow dwarf star |
|
formed 2.6 billion years ago |
|
is composed of hydrogen and helium |
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
What is the body's largest artery?
arteriole |
|
aorta |
|
capillary |
|
vena cava |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?
closest to the surface |
|
coldest |
|
farthest from the surface |
|
hottest |
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.
