74% Answer Correctly

proton

isotope

electron

neutron


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


2

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

left ventricle

pulmonary vein

aorta

right atrium


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

In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:

41% Answer Correctly

rivers

oceans

water table

runoff


Solution

The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.


4

What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?

54% Answer Correctly

cerebrum

spinal cord

autonomic

medulla


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

Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?

64% Answer Correctly

spinal cord

cerebellum

cerebrum

medulla


Solution

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