What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?
cerebellum |
|
cerebrum |
|
brainstem |
|
medulla |
The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).
Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?
vacuum |
|
solid |
|
none of these is a medium for sound waves |
|
liquid |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?
a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum |
|
a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic |
|
a sound wave is much slower than a light wave |
|
all of these are correct |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter).

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
warmer, cooler |
|
empty, dense |
|
cooler, warmer |
|
dense, empty |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
Blood is circulated throughout the body via:
arterioles |
|
aorta |
|
veins |
|
capillaries |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
