Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?
high-altitude |
|
ground level |
|
low-altitude |
|
mid-altitude |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?
isotopes |
|
ions |
|
products |
|
reactants |
The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
circulation |
|
digestion |
|
nervous |
|
respiration |
The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?
32°F |
|
0°C |
|
0°F |
|
273K |
The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
