Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
blood cells
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
The valence shell of a semiconductor is how full of electrons?
half full
Semiconductors have valence shells that are exacly half full and can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others. This property makes them useful for the control of electrical current.
How are the cylinders numbered in V-type engines?
cylinder numbering varies by manufacturer
In V-type engines the numbering sequence varies by manufacturer.
Ezra loaned Monica $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,100
i = 0.07 x $1,100
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $1,100 + $77As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?
decomposition
The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.
An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?
all of these
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
A vehicle's lighting system is protected from current spikes by:
fuses and circuit breakers
The lighting system consists of interior lights, instrument panel lighting, headlights, and taillights. Like household electrical circuits, the vehicle's lighting system is protected from current spikes by fuses and circuit breakers.
Convert 5C° to F°.
41
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)
\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
