1

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

pulmonary vein

aorta

left ventricle

right atrium


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 __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.

75% Answer Correctly

diaphragm

pulmonary

trachea

bronchioles


Solution

The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.


3

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

mass

velocity

acceleration

momentum


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

59% Answer Correctly

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


5

Saturated fats can __________ LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can __________ it.

78% Answer Correctly

decrease, raise

raise, decrease

stabilize, raise

decrease, stabilize


Solution

Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.
