neutron |
|
electron |
|
isotope |
|
proton |

|
arteriole |
|
aorta |
|
capillary |

From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
conductors |
|
refractors |
|
insulators |
|
reflectors |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
An electrically charged atom is a(n):
electron |
|
ion |
|
neutron |
|
proton |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
