55% Answer Correctly

within

back to 

all of these


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.

Menstruation occurs when:

76% Answer Correctly

the fetus is formed 

the ovum becomes fertilized

the ovum fails to become fertilized

5

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

16

0

32

-32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
