In the metric system, what prefix represents 103?

60% Answer Correctly

2

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

respiration

nervous

circulation

digestion


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


3

The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?

52% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

thermosphere

troposphere

stratosphere


Solution

In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).


4

In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.

55% Answer Correctly

atrium, atrium

atrium, ventricle

ventricle, atrium

ventricle, ventricle


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.


5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

solid

plasma

liquid

gas


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
