1

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

oxygenates

creates

filters


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

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

atria

valves

aorta

ventricles


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


3

Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?

88% Answer Correctly

fats

carbohydrates

protein

fiber


Solution

Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.


4

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

69% Answer Correctly

third

fourth

first

second


Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.


5

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

trachea

nasal cavity

epiglottis

pharynx


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.
