Blood is created in:
the liver |
|
bone marrow |
|
the heart |
|
red blood cells |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:
conduction |
|
convection |
|
reflection |
|
refraction |
Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?
closest to the surface |
|
hottest |
|
farthest from the surface |
|
coldest |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?
aorta |
|
pulmonary vein |
|
left ventricle |
|
right atrium |
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.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?
solid |
|
none of these |
|
liquid |
|
gas |
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
