The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?
gaseous methane, ammonia, and water |
|
rock |
|
minerals |
|
frozen methane, ammonia, and water |
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.
Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
third |
|
second |
|
first |
|
fourth |
Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
Blood is circulated throughout the body via:
arterioles |
|
capillaries |
|
veins |
|
aorta |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?
bacteria |
|
plants |
|
fungi |
|
animals |
Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi. (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)
