arteriole |
|
capillary |
|
vena cava |
|
aorta |

Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:
number of electron shells |
|
number of electrons |
|
number of atomic mass units |
|
number of electrons in their outer electron shell |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
bronchioles |
|
capillaries |
|
diaphragms |
|
blood cells |
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
What type of cloud is responsible for fog?
cirrus |
|
cumulus |
|
cumulonimbus |
|
stratus |
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
isotope |
|
electron |
|
proton |
|
neutron |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
