Small rocks shed by asteroids and comets that reach the earth are called:
meteors |
|
meteorites |
|
meteoroids |
|
shooting stars |
Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Which of these is not a recognized blood type?
AB |
|
AO |
|
O |
|
B |

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:
convection |
|
conduction |
|
refraction |
|
reflection |
Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:
diffusion |
|
conduction |
|
radiation |
|
convection |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee.
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.
