1

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

nervous

digestive

circulatory

reproductive


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.

Which of the following describes how a person's genes express themselves in physical characteristics?

61% Answer Correctly

DNA

chromotype

genotype

phenotype


Solution

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

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

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

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

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

83% Answer Correctly

refractors

reflectors

insulators

conductors


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.


5

Which of the following is true about species groups?

46% Answer Correctly

a community is made up of a group of populations

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres

a population is made up of a group of communities

an ecosystem is a biological population


Solution

population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.
