The large intestine does which of the following?
breaks down fats |
|
processes the physical waste produced by digestion |
|
breaks down starches |
|
breaks down proteins |
The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.
Convert -20C° to F°.
-36 |
|
78 |
|
-4 |
|
36 |
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?
covalent |
|
ionic |
|
chemical |
|
molecular |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?
produce blood cells |
|
store vitamins |
|
store minerals |
|
protect bodily organs |
Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.
The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
refractive index |
|
90° |
|
focal point |
|
angle of incidence |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
