76% Answer Correctly

This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


2

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

solid

liquid

gas

plasma


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


3

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

86% Answer Correctly

Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


4

What is the body's largest artery?

73% Answer Correctly

arteriole

capillary

aorta

vena cava


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


5

Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?

64% Answer Correctly

absorbing nutrients

breaking down fats

breaking down proteins

breaking down starches


Solution

Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth and tongue break down food mechanically through chewing and saliva, via the enzyme salivary amylase, starts to break starches down chemically. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus where contractions push the food into the stomach.
