1

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

starches

ascorbic acid or peptides

lactic acid or alcohol

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

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

cooler, warmer

warmer, cooler

dense, empty

empty, dense


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.


3

Saturated fats can __________ LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can __________ it.

78% Answer Correctly

decrease, raise

decrease, stabilize

raise, decrease

stabilize, raise


Solution

Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.


4

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


5

In the metric system, what prefix represents 10-3?

62% Answer Correctly

centi

kilo

mega

milli


Solution

In the metric system, milli is the prefix for 10-3.
