59% Answer Correctly

ventricles

valves

atria

aorta


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.

These clouds grow upward and can develop into cumulonimbus or thunderstorm clouds.

69% Answer Correctly

cumulus clouds

stratus clouds

cirrus clouds

nimbus clouds

Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.


3

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

46% Answer Correctly

asteroids contain frozen water

asteroids have a coma

comets orbit the Sun

comets have an atmosphere


Solution

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.


4

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:

67% Answer Correctly

acidic

neutral

alkaline

water


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


5

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

blood type

universal donor status

postive or negative

universal recipient status


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
