1

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

creates

oxygenates

deoxygenates

filters


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.


2

The large intestine does which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

breaks down proteins

breaks down starches

breaks down fats

processes the physical waste produced by digestion


Solution

The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.


3

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

mitochondria

water

oxygen

sugar


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


4

Saturated fats can __________ LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can __________ it.

78% Answer Correctly

stabilize, raise

raise, decrease

decrease, stabilize

decrease, raise


Solution

Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.


5

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?

75% Answer Correctly

cold

warm 

stationary

occluded


Solution

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.
