The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?
in the asteroid belt |
|
between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn |
|
outside the solar system |
|
in the Kuiper Belt |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:
deoxygenate blood |
|
transport oxygen |
|
transport nutrients |
|
add carbon dioxide |
Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.
Examples of secondary consumers include:
chickens |
|
wolves |
|
plankton |
|
grasshoppers |
Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
plasma |
|
gas |
|
liquid |
|
solid |
The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?
is composed of hydrogen and helium |
|
makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system |
|
is a yellow dwarf star |
|
formed 2.6 billion years ago |
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
