Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?
nasal cavity |
|
pharynx |
|
epiglottis |
|
trachea |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
212°F is how many °C?
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |
|
-100 |
|
0 |
|
100 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?
work |
|
a force |
|
kinetic energy |
|
power |
Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:
protein |
|
fiber |
|
saturated fat |
|
unsaturated fat |
Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.
Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?
aerobic respiration |
|
all of these |
|
anaerobic respiration |
|
photosynthesis |
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.
