The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?
rock |
|
minerals |
|
frozen methane, ammonia, and water |
|
gaseous methane, ammonia, and water |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.
deoxygenated, high |
|
oxygenated, high |
|
oxygenated, low |
|
deoxygenated, low |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
Water has a refractive index of 1.33. Which of the following is true?
light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water |
|
light is 1.33 times dimmer in a vacuum than it is in water |
|
light is 1.33 times brighter in a vacuum than it is in water |
|
light travels 1.33 times slower in a vacuum than it does in water |
The speed of light varies based on the material that the waves are passing through. The refractive index of a material indicates how easily light travels through it compared to how easily light travels through a vacuum. For example, the refractive index of water is 1.33, meaning that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water.
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
nervous |
|
respiration |
|
circulation |
|
digestion |
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.
Which of the following represents the largest value?
1 mL |
|
1 kL |
|
1 cL |
|
1 ML |
Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
