Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:
fiber |
|
protein |
|
unsaturated fat |
|
saturated fat |
Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.
As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?
sedimentation |
|
evaporation |
|
decomposition |
|
photosynthesis |
The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.
In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:
chromosomes |
|
cells |
|
nuclei |
|
chromatids |
During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.
Which of the following is metamorphic rock?
coal |
|
obsidian |
|
granite |
|
marble |
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.
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
|
none of these |
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity: \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\). Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.
