|
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.
Carbohydrates are found in:
vegetable oils |
|
food additives |
|
animal sources |
|
sugars and starches |
Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).
Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?
anaerobic respiration |
|
photosynthesis |
|
aerobic respiration |
|
all of these |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?
air |
|
water |
|
vacuum |
|
metal |
The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium. Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).
During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?
esophagus |
|
stomach |
|
large intestine |
|
small intestine |
Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
