1

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

aorta

veins

arterioles

capillaries


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.


2

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

anaerobically

aerobically

in the presence of oxygen

in plant cells


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


3

Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?

48% Answer Correctly

vacuum

air

metal

water


Solution

The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium.  Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).


4

Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:

82% Answer Correctly

fiber

saturated fat

unsaturated fat

protein


Solution

Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.


5

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

50% Answer Correctly

0°F

273K

32°F

0°C


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
