The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?
stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
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).
Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:
plasma |
|
capillaries |
|
veins |
|
arterioles |
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.
Which of the following is a decomposer?
mosquito |
|
ferret |
|
pine tree |
|
fungi |
Decomposers (saprotrophs) are organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients.
In the food chain, bacteria and fungi convert the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. Bacteria and fungi are:
primary consumers |
|
decomposers |
|
producers |
|
scavengers |

Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction only |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction and a polarity |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
