70% Answer Correctly

ground level

low-altitude

high-altitude

mid-altitude

3

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

pancreas

stomach

large intestine

small intestine


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


4

The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?

65% Answer Correctly

all of these are correct

liver

small intestine

pancreas


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.

The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

rock

frozen methane, ammonia, and water

minerals

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
