2

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

64% Answer Correctly

starches

water

lactic acid or alcohol

ascorbic acid or peptides

3

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

oxygenates

deoxygenates

creates

filters


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.

55% Answer Correctly

heterozygous

chromosome

homozygous

allele


Solution

The gene is the base unit of inheritance and is contained within DNA. A gene may come in several varieties (alleles) and there are a pair of alleles for every gene. If the alleles are alike, a person is homozygous for that gene. If the alleles are different, heterozygous.
