Plant cells are surrounded by:
only a cell membrane |
|
a cell membrane and a cell wall |
|
neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall |
|
only a cell wall |
Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.
scavengers |

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:
vertebra |
|
ligaments |
|
cartilage |
|
tendons |
Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).
Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
combinational quantities |
|
vector quantities |
|
composite quantities |
|
scalar 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: \(\vec{v}\)
Examples of tertiary consumers include:
sharks |
|
cows |
|
chickens |
|
fish |
Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.
