The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?
small intestine |
|
pancreas |
|
all of these are correct |
|
liver |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:
convection |
|
conduction |
|
refraction |
|
reflection |
Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?
is a yellow dwarf star |
|
is composed of hydrogen and helium |
|
makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system |
|
formed 2.6 billion years ago |
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
products |
|
reactants |
|
side effects |
|
results |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
