Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

57% Answer Correctly

reactants

results

products

side effects


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


2

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

oxygenates

deoxygenates

filters

creates


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.

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

0

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

-100

100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


4

Regulation of heart rhythm occurs in:

61% Answer Correctly

nerves

medulla

cerebrum

cerebellum


Solution

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.

Small rocks shed by asteroids and comets that reach the earth are called:

60% Answer Correctly

meteors

shooting stars

meteoroids

meteorites


Solution

Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
