1

In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.

69% Answer Correctly

capillary

pulmonary

aorta

atrial


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.


2

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:

79% Answer Correctly

biome

ecosystem

population

community


Solution

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).


3

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

angle of incidence

focal point

90°

refractive index


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.


4

Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?

57% Answer Correctly

convex mirror

concave mirror

concave lens

convex lens


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.


5

82% Answer Correctly
