What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?
temperate front |
|
warm front |
|
stationary front |
|
cold front |
A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.
Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction and a polarity |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?
photosynthesis |
|
all of these |
|
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.
Convert -20C° to F°.
-36 |
|
-4 |
|
36 |
|
78 |
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
Regulation of heart rhythm occurs in:
medulla |
|
cerebellum |
|
nerves |
|
cerebrum |
Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.
