The heart __________ blood.
oxygenates |
|
filters |
|
deoxygenates |
|
creates |
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.
What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?
valves |
|
platelets |
|
atria |
|
capillaries |
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.
An electrically charged atom is a(n):
electron |
|
ion |
|
proton |
|
neutron |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
proton |
|
electron |
|
neutron |
|
atom |
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
first law of motion |
|
third law of motion |
|
universal gravitation |
|
second law of motion |
Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula: \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.
