81% Answer Correctly

endoskeleton

vertebrate

bone

exoskeleton


Solution

3

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, high

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

oxygenated, low


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


4

Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?

64% Answer Correctly

ions

products

reactants

isotopes


Solution

The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.


5

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

oxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, low

deoxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
