1

Which of the following is not a terrestrial planet?

69% Answer Correctly

Mercury

Jupiter

Earth

Venus


Solution

The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.


2

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

83% Answer Correctly

add carbon dioxide

deoxygenate blood

transport oxygen

transport nutrients


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


3

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle


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.


4

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

decomposers

producers

secondary consumers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis


5

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

mitochondria

Golgi apparatus

cytoplasm

nucleus


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.
