In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?
nucleus |
|
mitochondria |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
cytoplasm |
The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.
The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?
troposphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
bronchioles |
|
diaphragm |
|
trachea |
|
pulmonary |
The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.
Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
cooler, warmer |
|
dense, empty |
|
empty, dense |
|
warmer, cooler |
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.
