The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
trachea |
|
pulmonary |
|
diaphragm |
|
bronchioles |
The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.
Large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top describe which of the following?
stratus clouds |
|
cirrus clouds |
|
fog |
|
cumulus clouds |
Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.
The heart __________ blood.
oxygenates |
|
filters |
|
deoxygenates |
|
creates |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
none of these |
|
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity: \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\). Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.
Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?
producers and tertiary consumers |
|
scavengers and decomposers |
|
herbivores and autotrophs |
|
primary consumers and omnivores |
Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.
