The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?
stratosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
mesosphere |
Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.
In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
ribosomes |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
|
endoplasmic reticulum |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.
The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:
convection |
|
conduction |
|
diffusion |
|
radiation |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee.
Examples of secondary consumers include:
wolves |
|
plankton |
|
chickens |
|
grasshoppers |
Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.
