Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

62% Answer Correctly

same poles repel each other

opposite poles repel each other

all of these are untrue

opposite poles attract 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.

Antigens in the blood determine:

53% Answer Correctly

Rh factor

blood oxygen capacity

negative or positive status

blood type


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


3

Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?

71% Answer Correctly

gas

none of these

solid

liquid


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


4

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

aorta

left ventricle

right atrium

pulmonary vein


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.


5

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

capillaries

aorta

arterioles

veins


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.
