1

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

vena cava

arteriole

capillary

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.


2

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

farthest from the surface

closest to the surface

hottest

coldest


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


3

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

pulmonary vein

left ventricle

aorta

right atrium


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

Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.

73% Answer Correctly

tertiary consumers

scavengers

secondary consumers

primary consumers


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


5

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

fewer

double the number of

equal numbers of

more


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
