Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?

64% Answer Correctly

breaking down fats

breaking down starches

breaking down proteins

absorbing nutrients


Solution

Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth and tongue break down food mechanically through chewing and saliva, via the enzyme salivary amylase, starts to break starches down chemically. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus where contractions push the food into the stomach.


3

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

empty, dense

dense, empty

cooler, warmer

warmer, cooler


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


4

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

weight depends on the location where it is measured

mass depends on the location where it is measured

mass is the amount of matter something has


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
