In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?
bacteria |
|
archaea |
|
eukaryota |
|
animalia |
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?
aorta |
|
pulmonary vein |
|
right 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.
When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:
snow or ice |
|
snow |
|
ice |
|
rain |
Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:
conduction |
|
convection |
|
radiation |
|
diffusion |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee.
The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?
plates |
|
continents |
|
metamorphic rock |
|
sedimentary rock |
The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
