Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

in the presence of oxygen

aerobically

anaerobically

2

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

56% Answer Correctly

concave mirror

concave lens

convex mirror

convex lens


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

What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?

70% Answer Correctly

6

5

3

dozens


Solution

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


5

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

anaphase
