3

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

oxygenates

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.

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromosomes

chromatids

nuclei

cells


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


5

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
