Which of blood component carries oxygen?
white blood cells |
|
plasma |
|
platelets |
|
red blood cells |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?
\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\) |
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
The first step in the water cycle is:
evaporation |
|
infiltration |
|
precipitation |
|
reclamation |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
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.
Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?
vacuum |
|
liquid |
|
none of these is a medium for sound waves |
|
solid |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
