45% Answer Correctly

fungi

plants

protists

animals

3

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

deoxygenated, high


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.


4

During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?

74% Answer Correctly

fats

water

salt

minerals

5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

82% Answer Correctly

gas

plasma

liquid

solid


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
