1

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

pulmonary vein

left ventricle

aorta

right atrium


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


2

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

62% Answer Correctly

bronchioles

diaphragms

capillaries

blood cells


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.


3

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

secondary consumers

producers

decomposers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis


4

Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

62% Answer Correctly

opposite poles repel each other

same poles repel each other

opposite poles attract each other

all of these are untrue


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.


5

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

83% Answer Correctly

deoxygenate blood

transport nutrients

add carbon dioxide

transport oxygen


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.
