As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:
fat |
|
protein |
|
starches |
|
sugars |
The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?
4 |
|
46 |
|
2 |
|
23 |
Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.
Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
combinational quantities |
|
scalar quantities |
|
composite quantities |
|
vector quantities |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?
photosynthesis |
|
anaerobic respiration |
|
aerobic respiration |
|
all of these |
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.
In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?
animals |
|
plants |
|
bacteria |
|
fungi |
Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi. (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)
