1

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

circulation

digestion

respiration

nervous


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


2

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

81% Answer Correctly

gas

solid

liquid

plasma


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.


3

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

kingdoms

domains

species

classes


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


4

Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?

52% Answer Correctly

produce blood cells

protect bodily organs

store vitamins

store minerals


Solution

Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.


5

The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?

63% Answer Correctly

outside the solar system

between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn

in the asteroid belt

in the Kuiper Belt


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
