Which of the following is not a terrestrial planet?
Earth |
|
Mercury |
|
Jupiter |
|
Venus |
The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
digestion |
|
circulation |
|
respiration |
|
nervous |
The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?
ascorbic acid or peptides |
|
lactic acid or alcohol |
|
starches |
|
water |
If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed by the gradual depositing of small rocks?
granite |
|
metamorphic |
|
igneous |
|
sedimentary |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:
add carbon dioxide |
|
transport oxygen |
|
deoxygenate blood |
|
transport nutrients |
Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.
