True or False: Fermentation requires oxygen.
False
What are the two main types of fermentation?
Alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.
Fill in the blank: Photosynthesis occurs mainly in the ______ of plants.
chloroplasts
What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2
True or False: Photosynthesis occurs at night.
False
What is Hooke’s Law?
The principle that the force needed to extend or compress a spring is proportional to the distance it is stretched or compressed.

force
What does the ‘k’ in Hooke’s Law represent?
The spring constant.
True or False: The gravitational pull of an object depends on its mass and the distance from its center.
True
