Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

48% Answer Correctly

capillaries

veins

plasma

arterioles


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

The rate of vibration of sound is called:

83% Answer Correctly

period

frequency

amplitude

volume


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.


3

"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

73% Answer Correctly

first

fourth

second

third


Solution

Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.


4

Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?

74% Answer Correctly

element

atom

neutron

molecule


Solution

An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.


5

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

water

lactic acid or alcohol

ascorbic acid or peptides

starches


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
