As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:
sugars |
|
starches |
|
protein |
|
fat |
The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:
geosphere |
|
lithosphere |
|
atmosphere |
|
hydrosphere |
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?
covalent |
|
ionic |
|
chemical |
|
acidic |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?
starches |
|
lactic acid or alcohol |
|
water |
|
ascorbic acid or peptides |
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.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
