Which of these digestive enzymes is not produced by the pancreas?
gastric acid |
|
trypsin |
|
pancreatic amylase |
|
lipase |
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.
Which of the following is sedimentary rock?
slate |
|
basalt |
|
obsidian |
|
sandstone |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Convert -20C° to F°.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?
spinal cord |
|
cerebrum |
|
autonomic |
|
medulla |
The spinal cord connects the brain to the body's network of nerves. It carries impulses between all organs and the brain and controls simple reflexes.
When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:
rain |
|
snow |
|
snow or ice |
|
ice |
Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
