The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed by the gradual depositing of small rocks?
sedimentary |
|
igneous |
|
granite |
|
metamorphic |
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.
Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:
saturated fat |
|
fiber |
|
unsaturated fat |
|
protein |
Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.
Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
warmer, cooler |
|
cooler, warmer |
|
dense, empty |
|
empty, dense |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
zygote → ovum → fetus |
|
ovum → zygote → fetus |
|
none of these are correct |
|
ovum → fetus → zygote |
During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
diaphragms |
|
blood cells |
|
bronchioles |
|
capillaries |
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
