1

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

oxygenates

deoxygenates

creates

filters


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.

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

64% Answer Correctly

second

third

fourth

first


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.


3

Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:

69% Answer Correctly

macronutrients

proteins

carbohydrates

micronutrients


Solution

Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.


4

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

trachea

pharynx

nasal cavity

epiglottis


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.


5

During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?

74% Answer Correctly

salt

minerals

water

fats


Solution

Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.
