The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
angle of incidence |
|
refractive index |
|
90° |
|
focal point |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
Examples of tertiary consumers include:
cows |
|
chickens |
|
sharks |
|
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.
Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
ovum → zygote → fetus |
|
zygote → ovum → 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.
Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?
hydrogen |
|
ion |
|
acid |
|
base |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
Blood is circulated throughout the body via:
capillaries |
|
aorta |
|
veins |
|
arterioles |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
