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 \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.
oxygenated, high |
|
oxygenated, low |
|
deoxygenated, low |
|
deoxygenated, high |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.
left, right |
|
right, right |
|
left, left |
|
right, left |
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
The biosphere consists of which of the following?
all of these |
|
atmosphere |
|
lithosphere |
|
hydrosphere |
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).

secondary or tertiary consumers |
|
secondary consumers or scavengers |
|
primary or tertiary consumers |
|
primary or secondary consumers |
Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.
