Which of the following is not a terrestrial planet?
Mercury |
|
Jupiter |
|
Earth |
|
Venus |
The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.
The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:
add carbon dioxide |
|
deoxygenate blood |
|
transport oxygen |
|
transport nutrients |
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.
Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
|
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right 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.
What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?
primary consumers |
|
decomposers |
|
producers |
|
secondary consumers |
Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis
In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?
mitochondria |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
cytoplasm |
|
nucleus |
The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.
