As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?
photosynthesis |
|
decomposition |
|
evaporation |
|
sedimentation |
The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.
Convert -20C° to F°.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:
periods |
|
groups |
|
families |
|
shells |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:
cartilage |
|
ligaments |
|
vertebra |
|
tendons |
Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).
The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
bronchioles |
|
pulmonary |
|
diaphragm |
|
trachea |
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.
