Which of Earth's layers has weather?
thermosphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
troposphere |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
A human heart consists of how many chambers?
1 |
|
4 |
|
8 |
|
2 |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:
amino acids |
|
glycerol and fatty acids |
|
simple sugars |
|
complex carbohydrates |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
first law of motion |
|
second law of motion |
|
universal gravitation |
|
third law of motion |
Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula: \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.
Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?
stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
|
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
|
mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
|
thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.
