1

What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?

70% Answer Correctly

medulla

brainstem

cerebrum

cerebellum


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


2

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

72% Answer Correctly

capillaries

atria

platelets

valves


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.


3

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

atomic number

period

family

group


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


4

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

a force

work

kinetic energy

power


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


5

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

dense, empty

cooler, warmer

warmer, cooler

empty, dense


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
