3

Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?

43% Answer Correctly

-273°C

absolute zero

0K

32°F


Solution

Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.


4

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

right atrium

pulmonary vein

aorta

left 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.
