1

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

bone

endoskeleton

vertebrate

exoskeleton


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.


2

As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?

45% Answer Correctly

sedimentation

decomposition

evaporation

photosynthesis


Solution

The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.


3

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

left ventricle

right atrium

pulmonary vein

aorta


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.


4

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

60% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)

none of these

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)


Solution

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity:  \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\).  Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.


5

In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.

64% Answer Correctly

right, left

left, right

right, right

left, left


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
