In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.
pulmonary |
|
aorta |
|
atrial |
|
capillary |

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
troposphere |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
gas |
|
plasma |
|
solid |
|
liquid |
The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
solid |
|
none of these |
|
liquid |
|
gas |
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.
gel |
|
gas |
|
solid |
|
liquid |
An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.
