The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?
in the asteroid belt |
|
in the Kuiper Belt |
|
between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn |
|
outside the solar system |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
The heart __________ blood.
deoxygenates |
|
creates |
|
oxygenates |
|
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.
Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?
all of these |
|
photosynthesis |
|
anaerobic respiration |
|
aerobic respiration |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
50°F is how many °C?
122 |
|
10 |
|
-10 |
|
58 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)
\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 10\)
Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
equal numbers of |
|
double the number of |
|
more |
|
fewer |
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.
