Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?
formed 2.6 billion years ago |
|
makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system |
|
is a yellow dwarf star |
|
is composed of hydrogen and helium |
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.

results |
|
side effects |
|
products |
|
reactants |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
Plant cells are surrounded by:
only a cell membrane |
|
a cell membrane and a cell wall |
|
neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall |
|
only a cell wall |
Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
What is the body's largest artery?
aorta |
|
vena cava |
|
capillary |
|
arteriole |
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.
