1

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

64% Answer Correctly

lactic acid or alcohol

starches

water

ascorbic acid or peptides


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

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

-100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0

100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


3

An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?

87% Answer Correctly

similar density

similar moisture

all of these

similar temperature


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


4

The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?

71% Answer Correctly

Doppler effect

reflection

refraction

sound radiation


Solution

The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.


5

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

70% Answer Correctly

third

fourth

second

first


Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
