What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?
warm front |
|
stationary front |
|
cold front |
|
temperate front |
A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.
Carbohydrates are found in:
animal sources |
|
sugars and starches |
|
vegetable oils |
|
food additives |
Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).
Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?
coldest |
|
hottest |
|
farthest from the surface |
|
closest to the surface |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
momentum |
|
mass |
|
acceleration |
|
velocity |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:
complex carbohydrates |
|
amino acids |
|
glycerol and fatty acids |
|
simple sugars |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
