1

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

filters

deoxygenates

oxygenates

creates


Solution

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.


2

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

joules or newton-meters

amps

horsepower

watts


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


3

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

gas

solid

liquid

gel


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


4

Secondary consumers that also eat producers are known as:

62% Answer Correctly

carnivores

omnivores

herbivores

scavengers


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


5

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

mesosphere

stratosphere

troposphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
