What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
medulla |
|
brainstem |
|
cerebrum |
|
cerebellum |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
Plant cells are surrounded by:
a cell membrane and a cell wall |
|
only a cell membrane |
|
only a cell wall |
|
neither a cell membrane nor 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.
During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?
minerals |
|
fats |
|
water |
|
salt |
Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.
In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.
aorta |
|
capillary |
|
pulmonary |
|
atrial |
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:
conduction |
|
convection |
|
refraction |
|
reflection |
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.
