In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

family

domain

species

genus

3

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

65% Answer Correctly

mixes with

cancels out

pushes under

pushes above


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.


4

A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

a sound wave is much slower than a light wave

a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum

all of these are correct

a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic


Solution

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.


5

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

cytokinesis

megaphase

interphase

anaphase


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
