1

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

48% Answer Correctly

capillaries

veins

plasma

arterioles


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


2

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, high

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

oxygenated, low


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


3

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the __________ to help break down protein.

77% Answer Correctly

stomach

mouth

large intestine

small intestine


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.


4

Which of the following is not one of the outer planets?

72% Answer Correctly

Neptune

Jupiter

Uranus

Venus


Solution

In contrast to the solid terrestrial planets, the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) consist of hydrogen and helium gas and water.


5

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

none of these

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
