In the foood chain, producers serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through:
decomposition |
|
chemosynthesis |
|
photosynthesis |
|
autotrophs |

What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
cerebrum |
|
cerebellum |
|
brainstem |
|
medulla |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?
element |
|
molecule |
|
atom |
|
neutron |
An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.
During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?
small intestine |
|
large intestine |
|
pancreas |
|
stomach |
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.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
|
none of these |
|
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
