1

In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.

69% Answer Correctly

aorta

atrial

capillary

pulmonary


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.


2

__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.

65% Answer Correctly

iron, calcium

vitamin D, magnesium

vitamin D, calcium

calcium, vitamin A


Solution

Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.


3

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

72% Answer Correctly

atria

platelets

capillaries

valves


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


4

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

water

mitochondria

sugar

oxygen


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


5

Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

isotopes

reactants

ions

products


Solution

The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.
