2

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

gel

gas

solid

liquid


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

ventricles

atria

aorta

valves


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.


4

Which of the following is metamorphic rock?

52% Answer Correctly

coal

granite

obsidian

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.


5

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

lactic acid or alcohol

ascorbic acid or peptides

starches

water


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.
