Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration

all of these

photosynthesis


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.

82% Answer Correctly

anemia

diabetes

4

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

84% Answer Correctly

reflectors

conductors

refractors

insulators


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


5

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:

79% Answer Correctly

community

ecosystem

biome

population


Solution

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).
