The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?
potential |
|
gravitational |
|
kinetic |
|
transitional |
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:
number of electrons in their outer electron shell |
|
number of electron shells |
|
number of atomic mass units |
|
number of electrons |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?
trachea |
|
nasal cavity |
|
epiglottis |
|
pharynx |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?
inner core |
|
outer core |
|
mantle |
|
continents |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?
helix |
|
nucleotides |
|
genes |
|
gametes |
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.
