Most digestion takes place where?
large intestine |
|
mouth |
|
stomach |
|
small intestine |
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.
"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
second |
|
third |
|
first |
|
fourth |
Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.
Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:
fiber |
|
saturated fat |
|
protein |
|
unsaturated fat |
Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.
As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.
mixes with |
|
pushes under |
|
cancels out |
|
pushes above |
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?
seasons |
|
day and night cycle |
|
tides |
|
the northern lights |
Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.
