The large intestine does which of the following?
breaks down proteins |
|
breaks down fats |
|
breaks down starches |
|
processes the physical waste produced by digestion |
The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.
Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.
oxygenated, low |
|
deoxygenated, high |
|
oxygenated, high |
|
deoxygenated, low |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.

population |
|
biome |
|
community |
|
ecosystem |

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?
anaerobic respiration |
|
photosynthesis |
|
all of these |
|
aerobic respiration |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
