Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
makes up most of Earth's volume |
|
dense |
|
hot |
|
all of these |
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
water |
|
oxygen |
|
mitochondria |
|
sugar |
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.
I biome is made up of naturally occurring flora and fauna. Fauna is which of the following?
minerals |
|
habitats |
|
plants |
|
animals |
A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
The large intestine does which of the following?
breaks down fats |
|
breaks down proteins |
|
breaks down starches |
|
processes the physical waste produced by digestion |
The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.
Which of Earth's layers has weather?
mesosphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
