Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?
species |
|
genus |
|
family |
|
domain |
The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:
snow or ice |
|
rain |
|
ice |
|
snow |
Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
Which of the following represents the largest value?
1 kL |
|
1 mL |
|
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.
What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?
valves |
|
capillaries |
|
platelets |
|
atria |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?
water |
|
fault lines |
|
liquid mantle |
|
sediment |
The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
