1

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

69% Answer Correctly

atrial

pulmonary

capillary

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

These clouds grow upward and can develop into cumulonimbus or thunderstorm clouds.

69% Answer Correctly

stratus clouds

cumulus clouds

nimbus clouds

cirrus clouds


Solution

Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.


3

Menstruation occurs when:

76% Answer Correctly

the fetus is formed 

the zygote is formed

the ovum fails to become fertilized

the ovum becomes fertilized


Solution

If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

\({40 \over 9}\)

-40

-8


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


5

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

53% Answer Correctly

epiglottis

nasal cavity

pharynx

trachea


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
