1

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

interphase

anaphase

megaphase

cytokinesis


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.


2

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

83% Answer Correctly

add carbon dioxide

transport oxygen

transport nutrients

deoxygenate blood


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


3

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

solid

liquid

gas

gel


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


4

In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

secondary consumers or scavengers

primary or tertiary consumers

secondary or tertiary consumers

primary or secondary consumers


Solution

Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.


5

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right 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.
