1

In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.

64% Answer Correctly

left, left

right, left

left, right

right, right


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.


2

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

transpiration

evaporation

both evaporation and transpiration

precipitation


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


3

The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?

77% Answer Correctly

tides

seasons

day and night cycle

the northern lights


Solution

Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.


4

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:

79% Answer Correctly

population

community

ecosystem

biome


Solution

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).


5

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

right atrium

aorta

left ventricle

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.
