In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:
water table |
|
rivers |
|
oceans |
|
runoff |
The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.
In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
ribosomes |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.
Which of Earth's layers has weather?
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
mesosphere |
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.
Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base.
high-altitude |
|
all-altitude |
|
mid-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?
reflection |
|
convection |
|
radiation |
|
conduction |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
