kingdoms |
|
domains |

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:
conduction |
|
reflection |
|
convection |
|
refraction |
Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
cerebellum |
|
cerebrum |
|
brainstem |
|
medulla |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
Menstruation occurs when:
the fetus is formed |
|
the ovum becomes fertilized |
|
the ovum fails to become fertilized |
|
the zygote is formed |
If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).
The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:
aorta |
|
atria |
|
ventricles |
|
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.
