An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
solid |
|
liquid |
|
gas |
|
plasma |
The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.
arteries |
|
veins |
|
red blood cells |
|
capillaries |
Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
none of these |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?
fiber |
|
carbohydrates |
|
fats |
|
protein |
Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.
What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?
medulla |
|
cerebrum |
|
autonomic |
|
spinal cord |
The spinal cord connects the brain to the body's network of nerves. It carries impulses between all organs and the brain and controls simple reflexes.
