Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells.

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?
radiation |
|
convection |
|
electricity |
|
conduction |
Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.
The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:
conduction |
|
convection |
|
diffusion |
|
radiation |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee.
Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:
plasma |
|
capillaries |
|
veins |
|
arterioles |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
