61% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebellum

nerves

3

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

arteriole

capillary

vena cava

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


4

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

atmosphere

lithosphere

hydrosphere

geosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


5

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

electron shells

protons

electrons

atomic mass units


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
