The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?
kinetic |
|
gravitational |
|
transitional |

potential |
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.
atrial |
|
pulmonary |
|
aorta |
|
capillary |
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?
water |
|
starches |
|
lactic acid or alcohol |
|
ascorbic acid or peptides |
If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
liquid |

gas |
|
none of these |
|
solid |

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct nearsightedness?
convex mirror |
|
concave mirror |
|
convex lens |
|
concave lens |
Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
