1

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

in the presence of oxygen

anaerobically

in plant cells

aerobically


Solution

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

In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:

41% Answer Correctly

oceans

runoff

water table

rivers


Solution

The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.


3

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

75% Answer Correctly

a food chain

a biome

a population

a community


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).


4

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

32

16

-32

0


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


5

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

dense

hot

makes up most of Earth's volume

all of these


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
