1

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

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


Solution

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.


2

Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

blood type

blood oxygen capacity

Rh factor

negative or positive status


Solution

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.


3

Which of the following is not true of light waves?

62% Answer Correctly

can travel through a vacuum

are mechanical waves

are electromagnetic waves

travel faster than sound waves


Solution

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.


4

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

50% Answer Correctly

273K

0°C

32°F

0°F


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.


5

In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:

41% Answer Correctly

runoff

oceans

rivers

water table


Solution

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.
