Which of these digestive enzymes is not produced by the pancreas?
lipase |
|
trypsin |
|
gastric acid |
|
pancreatic amylase |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
ovum → zygote → fetus |
|
none of these are correct |
|
ovum → fetus → zygote |
|
zygote → ovum → fetus |
During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?
ions |
|
products |
|
isotopes |
|
reactants |
The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.
Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude only |
|
a direction and a polarity |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
