1

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, 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.


2

Saturated fats can __________ LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can __________ it.

78% Answer Correctly

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

28% Answer Correctly

snow or ice

rain

snow

ice


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.


4

Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

negative or positive status

blood oxygen capacity

Rh factor

blood type


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


5

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

ovum → fetus → zygote

none of these are correct

zygote → ovum → fetus

ovum → zygote → fetus


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
