1

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

oxygen

water

mitochondria

sugar


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


2

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

left ventricle

right atrium

pulmonary vein

aorta


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


3

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

46% Answer Correctly

comets have an atmosphere

asteroids have a coma

comets orbit the Sun

asteroids contain frozen water


Solution

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.


4

Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

atomic weight

atomic mass

atomic number

number of electron shells


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


5

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

bacteria

eukaryota

archaea

animalia


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
