61% Answer Correctly

convection

diffusion

radiation

conduction


Solution

4

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

arterioles

veins

aorta

capillaries


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.


5

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

nuclei
