The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?
Doppler effect |
|
refraction |
|
sound radiation |
|
reflection |
The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.
In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
oxygen |
|
water |
|
sugar |
|
mitochondria |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
bronchioles |
|
diaphragms |
|
blood cells |
|
capillaries |
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:
conduction |
|
convection |
|
reflection |
|
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.
Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
double the number of |

equal numbers of |

|
fewer |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
