Which of Earth's layers has weather?
thermosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
troposphere |
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.
In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
all of these deal with proteins |
|
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
ribosomes |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.
The fossil record is a product of which period of Earth's history?
Cenozoic |
|
Jurassic |
|
Cretaceous |
|
Cambrian |
The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
