The large intestine does which of the following?
breaks down starches |
|
processes the physical waste produced by digestion |
|
breaks down proteins |
|
breaks down fats |
The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.
Which of the following represents the largest value?
1 ML |
|
1 cL |
|
1 kL |
|
1 mL |
Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
sugar |
|
water |
|
oxygen |
|
mitochondria |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?
sediment |
|
water |
|
fault lines |
|
liquid mantle |
The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:
radiation |
|
conduction |
|
diffusion |
|
convection |
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.
