The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?
troposphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
stratosphere |
In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
nervous |
|
digestion |
|
circulation |
|
respiration |
The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
Which of these is not a phase in cell division?
cytokinesis |
|
interphase |
|
megaphase |
|
anaphase |
Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
ribosomes |
|
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
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.
"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
fourth |
|
first |
|
second |
|
third |
Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
