1

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

anaerobic respiration

all of these

photosynthesis

aerobic respiration


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.


2

The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.

57% Answer Correctly

capillaries

veins

red blood cells

arteries


Solution

Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.


3

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

deoxygenate blood

transport oxygen

transport nutrients

add carbon dioxide


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


4

In taxonomy, domains are the broadest classification of life. How many domains are there?

60% Answer Correctly

3

5

6

dozens


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


5

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

67% Answer Correctly

conduction

convection

reflection

radiation


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
