The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?
small intestine |
|
pancreas |
|
liver |
|
all of these are correct |
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.
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
digestion |
|
respiration |
|
nervous |
|
circulation |
The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?
number of neutrons in the nucleus |
|
number of protons in the nucleus |
|
number of electrons orbiting the nucleus |
|
number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus |
The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.
What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
brainstem |
|
medulla |
|
cerebrum |
|
cerebellum |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?
a sound wave is much slower than a light wave |
|
a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic |
|
all of these are correct |
|
a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
