Which of the following substances gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water?
alkaline |
|
acid |
|
base |
|
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.
Most digestion takes place where?
large intestine |
|
stomach |
|
mouth |
|
small intestine |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
-40°F is how many °C?
\({40 \over 9}\) |
|
-40 |
|
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
-8 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
The two heart chambers that pump blood called:
atria |
|
aorta |
|
valves |
|
ventricles |
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.
The heart __________ blood.
oxygenates |
|
deoxygenates |
|
filters |
|
creates |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
