2

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

aerobically

in the presence of oxygen

anaerobically

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.


3

Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?

74% Answer Correctly

neutron

4

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

small intestine

large intestine

stomach

pancreas


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


5

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

nasal cavity

epiglottis

trachea

pharynx


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.
