1

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

left ventricle

pulmonary vein

right atrium

aorta


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

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

fair

hot

stormy

freezing


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


3

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

precipitation

transpiration

evaporation

both evaporation and transpiration


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


4

Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following? 

66% Answer Correctly

convection

radiation

conduction

reflection


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.


5

Plant cells are surrounded by:

64% Answer Correctly

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

only a cell wall

a cell membrane and a cell wall

only a cell membrane


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
