Most digestion takes place where?
large intestine |
|
stomach |
|
small intestine |
|
mouth |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?
convection |
|
radiation |
|
electricity |
|
conduction |
Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
liquid |
|
gas |
|
plasma |
|
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.
The first step in the water cycle is:
infiltration |
|
reclamation |
|
evaporation |
|
precipitation |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
