What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

73% Answer Correctly

platelets

valves

capillaries

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


4

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

86% Answer Correctly

electricity

conduction

convection

radiation


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.


5

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

78% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

lithosphere

geosphere

atmosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
