An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
liquid |
|
gas |
|
solid |
|
plasma |
In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?
produce blood cells |
|
store minerals |
|
store vitamins |
|
protect bodily organs |
Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.
Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 mph to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2 |
Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.
The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
trachea |
|
diaphragm |
|
pulmonary |
|
bronchioles |
The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.
In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
oxygen |
|
water |
|
sugar |
|
mitochondria |
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.
