1

The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.

57% Answer Correctly

capillaries

arteries

veins

red blood cells


Solution

Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.


2

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

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

Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.

73% Answer Correctly

scavengers

secondary consumers

primary consumers

tertiary consumers


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


4

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

65% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

cytoplasm

nucleus

mitochondria


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


5

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\({40 \over 9}\)

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-8

-40


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)
