1

An electrically charged atom is a(n):

49% Answer Correctly

ion

neutron

proton

electron


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


2

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

oxygenates

deoxygenates

creates

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.


3

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

gravitational

potential

kinetic

inherent


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


4

What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?

54% Answer Correctly

autonomic

medulla

cerebrum

spinal cord


Solution

The spinal cord connects the brain to the body's network of nerves. It carries impulses between all organs and the brain and controls simple reflexes.


5

212°F is how many °C?

78% 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:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)
