1

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

creates

filters

oxygenates


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.


2

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

aorta

atria

valves

ventricles


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.


3

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

electron

proton

neutron

atom


Solution

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.


4

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?

64% Answer Correctly

concave mirror

concave lens

convex lens

convex mirror


Solution

Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.


5

A transition zone between two air masses is called:

71% Answer Correctly

boundary

fog

front

thunderstorm


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
