1

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

aerobically

anaerobically

in plant cells

in the presence of oxygen


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

3

The biosphere consists of which of the following?

87% Answer Correctly

lithosphere

atmosphere

all of these

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


4

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

65% Answer Correctly

mixes with

cancels out

pushes above

pushes under


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.


5

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

37

41

27

-23


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
