plants |
|
fungi |
|
bacteria |
|
animals |
Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi. (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)

electron |
|
proton |
|

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.
Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base.
all-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
|
mid-altitude |
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
composite quantities |
|
scalar quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
|
vector quantities |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?
classes |
|
species |
|
kingdoms |
|
domains |
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
