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.
The heart __________ blood.
deoxygenates |
|
filters |
|
creates |
|
oxygenates |
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.
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed from the hardening of molten rock?
marble |
|
metamorphic |
|
igneous |
|
sedimentary |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?
producers |
|
simple nutrients |
|
complex carbohydrates |
|
carrion |
Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.
Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?
epiglottis |
|
trachea |
|
pharynx |
|
nasal cavity |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
