1

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

circulation

digestion

nervous

respiration


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


2

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

only a cell wall

only a cell membrane

a cell membrane and a cell wall


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


3

During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?

53% Answer Correctly

large intestine

esophagus

stomach

small intestine


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.


4

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

10

122

-10

58


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

76% Answer Correctly

a biome

a community

a population

a food chain


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
