1

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

aerobically

anaerobically

in plant cells

in the presence of oxygen


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 cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

mitochondria

water

oxygen

sugar


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.


3

The first step in the water cycle is:

67% Answer Correctly

precipitation

infiltration

evaporation

reclamation


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


4

The four planets closest to the Sun are called terrestrial. What does terrestrial mean?

73% Answer Correctly

the planets are Earth-like

the planets have water

the planets have magnetic fields

the planets have moons


Solution

The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.


5

Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?

52% Answer Correctly

produce blood cells

protect bodily organs

store minerals

store vitamins


Solution

Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.
