1

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

filters

creates

oxygenates


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.


2

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

postive or negative

universal donor status

blood type

universal recipient status


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.


3

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?

48% Answer Correctly

covalent

chemical

molecular

ionic


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


4

Secondary consumers that also eat producers are known as:

62% Answer Correctly

herbivores

carnivores

scavengers

omnivores


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


5

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

aorta

valves

ventricles

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
