asteroids contain frozen water |
|
comets have an atmosphere |
|
comets orbit the Sun |
A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.

The first step in the water cycle is:
reclamation |

infiltration |
|
precipitation |
|
evaporation |

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?
starches |
|
lactic acid or alcohol |

ascorbic acid or peptides |
|
water |
If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
Golgi apparatus |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
|
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
ribosomes |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.
