Plant cells are surrounded by:
a cell membrane and a cell wall |
|
only a cell membrane |
|
only a cell wall |
|
neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall |
Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

pushes under |
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?
large intestine |
|
stomach |
|
small intestine |
|
pancreas |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
neutron |
|
isotope |
|
proton |
|
electron |
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.
The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?
liver |
|
small intestine |
|
all of these are correct |
