Review

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

	transitional
	potential
	kinetic
	gravitational

Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.

Regulation of heart rhythm occurs in:

61% Answer Correctly

	medulla
	cerebellum
	nerves
	cerebrum

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.

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

65% Answer Correctly

	third
	first
	fourth
	second

Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.

Carbohydrates are found in:

89% Answer Correctly

	animal sources
	vegetable oils
	sugars and starches
	food additives

Solution

Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

	in plant cells
	anaerobically
	aerobically
	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.
