1

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

48% Answer Correctly

plasma

veins

arterioles

capillaries


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


2

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

ovum → fetus → zygote

none of these are correct

zygote → ovum → fetus

ovum → zygote → fetus


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.


3

A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:

74% Answer Correctly

a recessive trait

a chromosome

a dominant trait

a gene


Solution

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.


4

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

aorta

atria

ventricles

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.


5

Examples of secondary consumers include:

52% Answer Correctly

wolves

chickens

plankton

grasshoppers


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.
