|
third |
|
first |
|
fourth |

The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.
capillaries |
|
arteries |
|
veins |
|
red blood cells |
Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.
Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
dense |
|
all of these |
|
makes up most of Earth's volume |
|
hot |
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?
reproductive |
|
circulatory |
|
digestive |
|
nervous |
Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.
Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?
thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
|
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
|
stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
|
mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.
