What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?
valves |
|
platelets |
|
capillaries |
|
atria |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:
carbohydrates |
|
micronutrients |
|
macronutrients |
|
proteins |
Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a direction only |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
|
none of these |
|
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
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 \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?
sedimentary rock |
|
plates |
|
continents |
|
metamorphic rock |
The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
