Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

left ventricle

right atrium

aorta

pulmonary vein


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.


4

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of atomic mass units

number of electrons

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

number of electron shells


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


5
