-273°C |
|
0K |
|
32°F |

The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
pulmonary |
|
trachea |
|
diaphragm |
|
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.
Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?
absorbing nutrients |
|
breaking down fats |
|
breaking down starches |
|
breaking down proteins |
Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth and tongue break down food mechanically through chewing and saliva, via the enzyme salivary amylase, starts to break starches down chemically. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus where contractions push the food into the stomach.
Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?
plasma |
|
white |

platelets |
|
red |

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:
refraction |
|
conduction |
|
reflection |
|
convection |
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.
