1

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

creates

oxygenates

filters


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


2

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?

70% Answer Correctly

ground level

low-altitude

mid-altitude

high-altitude


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


3

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

horsepower

joules or newton-meters

amps

watts


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


4

Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?

76% Answer Correctly

46

2

4

23


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


5

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

64% Answer Correctly

troposphere

thermosphere

stratosphere

mesosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
