The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

valves

atria

ventricles

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.


2

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

65% Answer Correctly

cytoplasm

nucleus

mitochondria

Golgi apparatus


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


3

Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?

71% Answer Correctly

none of these

gas

solid

liquid


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


4

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

mass

momentum

velocity

acceleration


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:  \(\vec{v}\)

Veins carry blood __________ the heart.

55% Answer Correctly

back to 

within

away from

all of these


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.
