an ecosystem is a biological population

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres


Solution

2

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

nervous

digestive

reproductive

circulatory


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.


3

Veins carry blood __________ the heart.

55% Answer Correctly

within

all of these

back to 

away from


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.


4

Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?

60% Answer Correctly

veins

arteries

capillaries

heart


Solution

Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.


5

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

angle of incidence

focal point

refractive index

90°


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
