The two heart chambers that pump blood called:

59% Answer Correctly

atria

aorta

valves

ventricles


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


2

In taxonomy, domains are the broadest classification of life. How many domains are there?

60% Answer Correctly

3

5

dozens

6


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


3

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

63% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

ribosomes

endoplasmic reticulum

all of these deal with proteins


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.


4

Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?

57% Answer Correctly

concave mirror

convex lens

convex mirror

concave lens


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.


5

The most diverse kindgom of life is which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

animals

fungi

protists

plants


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)
