Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
|
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle |
|
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
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.
Most digestion takes place where?
small intestine |
|
large intestine |
|
mouth |
|
stomach |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?
water |
|
air |
|
metal |
|
vacuum |
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).
A transition zone between two air masses is called:
thunderstorm |
|
boundary |
|
front |
|
fog |
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
third law of motion |
|
second law of motion |
|
universal gravitation |
|
first law of motion |
Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula: \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.
