1

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

aerobically

anaerobically

in plant cells

in the presence of oxygen


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

Which of these is not a component of blood?

82% Answer Correctly

marrow

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.


3

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


4

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

phenotypes

recessive alleles

dominant alleles

both dominant and recessive alleles


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.


5

What part of the nervous system is responsible for controlling involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat?

63% Answer Correctly

cerebellum

medulla

cerebrum

spinal cord


Solution

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.
