1

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

atria

ventricles

aorta

valves


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

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

deoxygenate blood

add carbon dioxide

transport nutrients

transport oxygen


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


3

Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

sublimation

cooling

heating

phase transition


Solution

A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.


4

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

in plant cells

aerobically

in the presence of oxygen

anaerobically


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


5

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

atom

proton

neutron

electron


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
