67% Answer Correctly

more

equal numbers of

fewer

double the number of

4

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

capillary

vena cava

aorta

arteriole


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle.

47% Answer Correctly

nucleotides

helix
