During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?
minerals |
|
fats |
|
water |
|
salt |
Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.
The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?
mesosphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)
\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
first |
|
fourth |
|
second |
|
third |
Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
angle of incidence |
|
90° |
|
refractive index |
|
focal point |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
