1

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

reproductive

digestive

nervous

circulatory


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.


2

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

transport nutrients

deoxygenate blood

add carbon dioxide

transport oxygen


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


3

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

valves

atria

ventricles

aorta


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 not true about simple magnets?

62% Answer Correctly

opposite poles attract each other

opposite poles repel each other

all of these are untrue

same poles repel each other


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.


5

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

water

lactic acid or alcohol

ascorbic acid or peptides

starches


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.
