Which of these digestive enzymes is not produced by the pancreas?
lipase |
|
trypsin |
|
pancreatic amylase |
|
gastric acid |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
Which of the following is true about species groups?
a community is made up of a group of populations |
|
an ecosystem is a biological population |
|
a population is made up of a group of communities |
|
a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres |
A population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?
is a yellow dwarf star |
|
makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system |
|
is composed of hydrogen and helium |
|
formed 2.6 billion years ago |
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.
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed by the gradual depositing of small rocks?
granite |
|
igneous |
|
sedimentary |
|
metamorphic |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude only |
|
a direction only |
|
a direction and a polarity |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
