exoskeleton |
|

|
endoskeleton |
|

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
liquid |
|
gas |
|
plasma |
|
solid |
The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
Most digestion takes place where?
large intestine |
|
mouth |
|
small intestine |
|
stomach |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
