1

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

starches

water

lactic acid or alcohol

ascorbic acid or peptides


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

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\({40 \over 9}\)

-40

-8

\(-{40 \over 9}\)


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


3

Solution

An element is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods.


4

Tertiary consumers eat which of the following?

59% Answer Correctly

primary and secondary consumers

producers

decomposers

all of these


Solution

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.


5

A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:

74% Answer Correctly

a recessive trait

a dominant trait

a chromosome

a gene


Solution

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.
