The two heart chambers that pump blood called:
atria |
|
ventricles |
|
aorta |
|
valves |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?
domains |
|
species |
|
classes |
|
kingdoms |
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
The large intestine does which of the following?
processes the physical waste produced by digestion |
|
breaks down fats |
|
breaks down starches |
|
breaks down proteins |
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.
Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?
closest to the surface |
|
farthest from the surface |
|
hottest |
|
coldest |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.
pushes above |
|
mixes with |
|
pushes under |
|
cancels out |
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
