Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
mass |
|
velocity |
|
acceleration |
|
momentum |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?
electricity |
|
conduction |
|
convection |
|
radiation |

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?
lactic acid or alcohol |
|
ascorbic acid or peptides |
|
starches |
|
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.
In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
mitochondria |
|
water |
|
oxygen |
|
sugar |
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.
