Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?
epiglottis |
|
pharynx |
|
nasal cavity |
|
trachea |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?
-273°C |
|
absolute zero |
|
32°F |
|
0K |
Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.
What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?
stationary front |
|
temperate front |
|
cold front |
|
warm front |
A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.
The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
refractive index |
|
angle of incidence |
|
focal point |
|
90° |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?
precipitation |
|
both evaporation and transpiration |
|
transpiration |
|
evaporation |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
