In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.
ventricle, atrium
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.
You would measure the amount of current through a circuit with a(n):
ammeter
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). An ammeter is used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?
solid
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?
nucleus
The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.
Which of the following statements about drag is false?
slower objects experience more drag than faster objects
Drag is friction that opposes movement through a fluid like liquid or air. The amount of drag depends on the shape and speed of the object with slower objects experiencing less drag than faster objects and more aerodynamic objects experiencing less drag than those with a large leading surface area.
Which class of lever offers no mechanical advantage?
third
A third-class lever is used to increase distance traveled by an object in the same direction as the force applied. The fulcrum is at one end of the lever, the object at the other, and the force is applied between them. This lever does not impart a mechanical advantage as the effort force must be greater than the load but does impart extra speed to the load. Examples of third-class levers are shovels and tweezers.
In the food chain, consumers are classified as which of the following?
all of these
Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.
