A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
proton |
|
electron |
|
isotope |
|
neutron |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
Veins carry blood __________ the heart.
away from |
|
within |
|
back to |
|
all of these |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?
thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
|
mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
|
stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
|
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude only |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
Secondary consumers that also eat producers are known as:
carnivores |
|
omnivores |
|
scavengers |
|
herbivores |
Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.
