Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
|
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
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.
Antigens in the blood determine:
blood type |
|
blood oxygen capacity |
|
Rh factor |
|
negative or positive status |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
Which of the following is not true of light waves?
can travel through a vacuum |
|
are mechanical waves |
|
are electromagnetic waves |
|
travel faster than sound waves |
Unlike mechanical sound waves that require a physical medium for propagation, light waves are electromagnetic and can travel through empty space. Light waves are also much faster, travelling at 186,000 m/s vs. 343 m/s for sound waves.
Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?
273K |
|
0°C |
|
32°F |
|
0°F |
The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:
runoff |
|
oceans |
|
rivers |
|
water table |
The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.
