1

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

none of these are correct

zygote → ovum → fetus

ovum → zygote → fetus

ovum → fetus → zygote


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.


2

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


3

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

double the number of

more

fewer

equal numbers of


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


4

The large intestine does which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

breaks down fats

breaks down proteins

processes the physical waste produced by digestion

breaks down starches


Solution

The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.


5

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

aorta

capillaries

arterioles

veins


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.
