1

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

angle of incidence

focal point

90°

refractive index


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


2

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

veins

arterioles

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.


3

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

filters

oxygenates

creates


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.


4

Saturated fats can __________ LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can __________ it.

78% Answer Correctly

decrease, stabilize

decrease, raise

stabilize, raise

raise, decrease


Solution

Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.


5

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

mass

acceleration

momentum

velocity


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)
