Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

left ventricle

aorta

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.


2

Which of the following is not true of light waves?

62% Answer Correctly

travel faster than sound waves

are mechanical waves

are electromagnetic waves

can travel through a vacuum


Solution

Unlike mechanical sound waves that require a physical medium for propagation, light waves are electromagnetic and can travel through empty space. Light waves are also much faster, travelling at 186,000 m/s vs. 343 m/s for sound waves.


3

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly
