1

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

transport oxygen

add carbon dioxide

transport nutrients

deoxygenate blood


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


2

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

none of these are correct

ovum → fetus → zygote

ovum → zygote → fetus

zygote → ovum → fetus


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.


3

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


4

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

none of these


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


5

Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?

71% Answer Correctly

none of these

liquid

gas

solid


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
