I biome is made up of naturally occurring flora and fauna. Fauna is which of the following?
animals |
|
habitats |
|
plants |
|
minerals |
A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?
46 |
|
23 |
|
2 |
|
4 |
Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.
The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:
conduction |
|
convection |
|
diffusion |
|
radiation |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee.
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
refractors |
|
insulators |
|
reflectors |
|
conductors |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
pulmonary |
|
diaphragm |
|
bronchioles |
|
trachea |
The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.
