tertiary |

secondary |
|
primary |

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed when existing rock is altered through pressure, temperature, or chemical processes?
igneous |
|
coal |
|
metamorphic |
|
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.
During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?
small intestine |
|
large intestine |
|
stomach |
|
esophagus |
Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
nervous |
|
circulation |
|
digestion |
|
respiration |
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.
A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:
a dominant trait |
|
a gene |
|
a recessive trait |
|
a chromosome |
The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive. A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.
