An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?
inherent |
|
potential |
|
kinetic |
|
gravitational |
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
Menstruation occurs when:
the ovum fails to become fertilized |
|
the fetus is formed |
|
the zygote is formed |
|
the ovum becomes fertilized |
If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).
Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
warmer, cooler |
|
dense, empty |
|
cooler, warmer |
|
empty, dense |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
