The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
Cellular fermentation takes place:
in plant cells |
|
aerobically |
|
anaerobically |
|
in the presence of oxygen |
If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
fewer |
|
more |
|
equal numbers of |
|
double the number of |
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.
Large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top describe which of the following?
cirrus clouds |
|
fog |
|
stratus clouds |
|
cumulus clouds |
Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
insulators |
|
refractors |
|
reflectors |
|
conductors |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
