2

Veins carry blood __________ the heart.

55% Answer Correctly

back to 

all of these

within

away from


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


3

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

lithosphere

atmosphere

hydrosphere

geosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


4

The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.

75% Answer Correctly

pulmonary

bronchioles

diaphragm

trachea


Solution

The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.


5

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = w t\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).
