Which of these digestive enzymes is not produced by the pancreas?
pancreatic amylase |
|
trypsin |
|
gastric acid |
|
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.
The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:
aorta |
|
valves |
|
atria |
|
ventricles |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
focal point |
|
angle of incidence |
|
refractive index |
|
90° |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
__________ is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
anemia |
|
diabetes |
|
scurvy |
|
shingles |
Anemia, which may cause weakness, dizziness, and headaches is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
none of these |
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity: \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\). Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.
