1

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

right atrium

pulmonary vein

left ventricle

aorta


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

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

arterioles

aorta

veins

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.


3

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

eukaryota

bacteria

archaea

animalia


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


4

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

aerobically

anaerobically

in plant cells

in the presence of oxygen


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


5

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed from the hardening of molten rock?

65% Answer Correctly

sedimentary

igneous

metamorphic

marble


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
