The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?
circulatory |
|
nervous |
|
digestive |
|
reproductive |
Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.
Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
ovum → fetus → zygote |
|
zygote → ovum → fetus |
|
ovum → zygote → fetus |
|
none of these are correct |
During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
liquid |
|
gas |
|
solid |
|
plasma |
In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
first |
|
fourth |
|
third |
|
second |
Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?
a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic |
|
all of these are correct |
|
a sound wave is much slower than a light wave |
|
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.
