1

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

anaerobically

in the presence of oxygen

in plant cells

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

DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

genes

nucleotides

helix

gametes


Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.


3

Which of blood component carries oxygen?

83% Answer Correctly

platelets

plasma

white blood cells

red blood cells


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


4

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

thermosphere

troposphere

stratosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


5

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

a force

power

kinetic energy

work


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
