The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?
minerals |
|
rock |
|
frozen methane, ammonia, and water |
|
gaseous methane, ammonia, and water |
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.
When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:
more complex |
|
less complex |
|
none of these |
|
similarly complex |
Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
gas |

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?
veins |
|
heart |
|
capillaries |

Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.
Work is measured in:
watts |
|
horsepower |
|
joules or newton-meters |
|
amps |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
