Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?
carrion |
|
producers |
|
simple nutrients |
|
complex carbohydrates |
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.
Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
capillaries |
|
bronchioles |
|
blood cells |
|
diaphragms |
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
|
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right 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.
Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?
farthest from the surface |
|
hottest |
|
closest to 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.
As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:
starches |
|
sugars |
|
fat |
|
protein |
The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
