| Trivia Time!! |
Question 1:
Which of the following animals will DIE if it stops moving around and stay still?
A: Shark
B: Earthworm
C: Jellyfish
D: Honey bee
Comments on Answer: Not bad.. how come for those who submitted their answers they all guessed shark?
Model Answer: Like other fishes, sharks extract oxygen from seawater as it passes over their gills. Some sharks have a modified slit called a spiracle located just behind the eye, which is used in respiration. Due to their size and the nature of their metabolism, many sharks have a higher demand for oxygen than bony fishes and cannot rely on ambient water currents to provide an adequate supply of oxygenated water. If these sharks were to stop swimming, the water circulation would drop below the level necessary for respiration and the animal would suffocate. The process of ensuring an adequate flow of the gills by forward movement is known as ram ventilation.

Question 5:
In your fifth question, identify the creature from the following that has 5 hearts.
A: Starfish
B: Octopus
C: Lizard
D: Earthworm
****************************
Question 6:
Which part of your digestive system is responsible for the formation of flatus (commonly known as 'fart')?
A: Small intestine (except duodenum)
B: Whole of large intestine
C: Stomach only
D: Duodenum only
Model Answer: Anything that causes food to be incompletely digested in the small intestine may cause flatulence when the material arrives in the large intestine due to fermentation, particularly if yeast organisms are present.
Flatulence producing foods are typically high in polysaccharides (especially oligosaccharides such as inulin) and include beans, lentils, milk, onions, radishes, sweet potatoes, cheese, cashews, broccoli, cabbage, Jerusalem artichokes, oats, yeast in breads, etc. In beans, endogenous gases seem to arise from oligosaccharides, carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion. These pass through the upper intestine largely unchanged, and when they reach the lower intestine, bacteria feed on them, producing copious amounts of flatus.

Question 7:
Which gas is the primary component of flatus (or, fart)?
Model Answer: Nitrogen
Comments on Answers: No! Methane is NOT the primary component!!! Your fart is basically air. And as you have already know, nitrogen makes up more than 70% of air...
