The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
bronchioles |
|
trachea |
|
diaphragm |
|
pulmonary |
The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.
The Sun is a __________-type main-sequence star.
D |
|
S |
|
E |
|
G |
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?
\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\) |
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 \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?
store vitamins |
|
store minerals |
|
protect bodily organs |
|
produce blood cells |
Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.
Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
protons |
|
electron shells |
|
atomic mass units |
|
electrons |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
