As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.
pushes above |
|
mixes with |
|
cancels out |
|
pushes under |
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.
Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?
opposite poles attract each other |
|
opposite poles repel each other |
|
all of these are untrue |
|
same poles repel each other |
Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:
transport nutrients |
|
add carbon dioxide |
|
transport oxygen |
|
deoxygenate blood |
Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.

reactants |
|
products |
|

|

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?
liver |
|
small intestine |
|
pancreas |
|
all of these are correct |
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.
