What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

65% Answer Correctly

cerebrum

brainstem

medulla

cerebellum


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).


2

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

oxygenates

filters

deoxygenates

creates


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


3

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

veins

capillaries

arterioles

aorta


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.


4

Within DNA, a variety of a particular gene is called a(n):

55% Answer Correctly

homozygous

allele

heterozygous

chromosome


Solution

The gene is the base unit of inheritance and is contained within DNA. A gene may come in several varieties (alleles) and there are a pair of alleles for every gene. If the alleles are alike, a person is homozygous for that gene. If the alleles are different, heterozygous.


5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

81% Answer Correctly

gas

plasma

solid

liquid


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
