The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?

71% Answer Correctly

reflection

Doppler effect

sound radiation

refraction


Solution

The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.


2

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

oxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

deoxygenated, low

deoxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


3

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

ventricles

atria

aorta

valves


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


4

__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.

65% Answer Correctly

vitamin D, magnesium

iron, calcium

vitamin D, calcium

calcium, vitamin A


Solution

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.
