Blood is circulated throughout the body via:
aorta |
|
capillaries |
|
arterioles |
|
veins |
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.
Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:
1 mph to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2 |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg |
Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.
Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
bronchioles |
|
capillaries |
|
blood cells |
|
diaphragms |
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?
mid-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
|
ground level |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
The rate of vibration of sound is called:
frequency |
|
period |
|
amplitude |
|
volume |
The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
