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

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct nearsightedness?

56% Answer Correctly

concave lens

convex lens

convex mirror

concave mirror


Solution

Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.


3

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

78

-4

-36

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


4

Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

sublimation

phase transition

heating

cooling


Solution

A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.


5

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

protons

electrons

electron shells

atomic mass units


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
