1

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

62% Answer Correctly

diaphragms

bronchioles

capillaries

blood cells


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.


2

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

0

-32

32

16


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


3

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

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


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


4

Plant cells are surrounded by:

64% Answer Correctly

a cell membrane and a cell wall

only a cell membrane

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

only a cell wall


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


5

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

oxygenates

creates

deoxygenates

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.
