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

48% Answer Correctly

covalent

ionic

chemical

molecular


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.

Which of blood component carries oxygen?

83% Answer Correctly

white blood cells

platelets

red blood cells

plasma


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


5

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

right atrium

pulmonary vein

aorta

left ventricle


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.
