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

57% Answer Correctly

concave mirror

convex mirror

convex lens

concave 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.

blood oxygen capacity

blood type

Rh factor

negative or positive status

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

72% Answer Correctly

atria

capillaries

valves

platelets


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.
