What is a major difference between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems?
each belongs to a different nervous system |
|
one controls voluntary activity, one controls involuntary activity |
|
one is inherited, the other is learned |
|
one controls thinking, the other controls feeling |
Both are part of the peripheral nervous system. The somatic nervous system sends sensory information to the central nervous system and controls voluntary actions while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.
Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?
fiber |
|
fats |
|
carbohydrates |
|
protein |
Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.
Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?
solid |
|
vacuum |
|
liquid |
|
none of these is a medium for sound waves |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?
anaerobic respiration |
|
all of these |
|
aerobic respiration |
|
photosynthesis |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?
mesosphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.
