Unit 7 test

Front

What are divergent boundaries?

Back

Divergent boundaries are tectonic plate boundaries where two plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges.

Front

What is the function of the immune system?

Back

The immune system defends the body against invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.

Front

What type of reproduction results in genetically identical offspring?

Back

Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

Front

If a boat moves left at 4 m/s and the current moves right at 3 m/s, what happens to the boat's speed?

Back

The boat will slow down because the current is opposing its movement.

Front

What kingdom do prokaryotic, single-celled organisms that can be found on humans belong to?

Back

Eubacteria.

Front

Define rift valley.

Back

A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the divergence of tectonic plates, often characterized by steep walls and a central block.

Front

What is a mid-ocean ridge?

Back

A mid-ocean ridge is an underwater mountain range formed by plate tectonics, where new oceanic crust is created as plates pull apart.

Front

What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction?

Back

Sexual reproduction involves the combination of genetic material from two parents, while asexual reproduction involves a single parent producing genetically identical offspring.

Front

What are transform boundaries?

Back

Transform boundaries are tectonic plate boundaries where two plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes.

Front

What is the role of the digestive system?

Back

The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients that the body can absorb and use for energy, growth, and cell repair.
