geosphere |
|
hydrosphere |
|
atmosphere |
|
lithosphere |
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.
deoxygenated, high |
|
oxygenated, low |
|
deoxygenated, low |
|
oxygenated, high |
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.
The heart __________ blood.
oxygenates |
|
deoxygenates |
|
creates |
|
filters |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
electrons |
|
protons |
|
atomic mass units |
|
electron shells |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
