1

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

lactic acid or alcohol

ascorbic acid or peptides

starches

water


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

__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.

65% Answer Correctly

iron, calcium

calcium, vitamin A

vitamin D, magnesium

vitamin D, calcium


Solution

Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.


3

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

85% Answer Correctly

spiny

vertebrate

sentient

arthropod


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


4

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

evaporation

transpiration

precipitation

both evaporation and transpiration


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


5

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

74% Answer Correctly

refraction

conduction

reflection

convection


Solution

Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
