1

A human heart consists of how many chambers?

84% Answer Correctly

8

2

4

1


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.


2

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

secondary consumers

decomposers

producers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis


3

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

62% Answer Correctly

diaphragms

blood cells

capillaries

bronchioles


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.


4

The brain and spinal cord make up the __________ nervous system.

81% Answer Correctly

autonomic

somatic

peripheral

central


Solution

The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.


5

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
