1

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

nervous

digestion

respiration

circulation


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.

64% Answer Correctly

sugars

starches

protein

fat


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.


3

Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?

48% Answer Correctly

a magnitude only

a direction only

a magnitude and a direction

a magnitude and a polarity


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.

65% Answer Correctly

vitamin D, calcium

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

only a cell wall

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

a cell membrane and a cell wall

only a cell membrane


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
