Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?

42% Answer Correctly

convex lens

concave lens

convex mirror

concave mirror


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

all of these

photosynthesis

aerobic respiration

anaerobic respiration


Solution

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.


3
