1

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

69% Answer Correctly

pulmonary

capillary

atrial

aorta


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

The large intestine does which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

breaks down starches

breaks down fats

processes the physical waste produced by digestion

breaks down proteins


Solution

The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.


3

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

microwaves → radio waves → visible light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

0

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

-100

100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


5

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

a force

power

work

kinetic energy


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
