1

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

starches

ascorbic acid or peptides

lactic acid or alcohol

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.


2

During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?

73% Answer Correctly

fats

minerals

water

salt


Solution

Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.


3

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

liquid

plasma

solid

gas


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


4

An electrically charged atom is a(n):

49% Answer Correctly

proton

electron

ion

neutron


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


5

Antigens in the blood determine:

53% Answer Correctly

blood type

blood oxygen capacity

Rh factor

negative or positive status


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.
