Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?
aorta |
|
right atrium |
|
left ventricle |
|
pulmonary vein |
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.
Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?
comets have an atmosphere |
|
asteroids contain frozen water |
|
asteroids have a coma |
|
comets orbit the Sun |
A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.
Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
fuel |
|
components |
|
reactants |
|
products |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
Veins carry blood __________ the heart.
back to |
|
all of these |
|
away from |
|
within |
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.
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
insulators |
|
conductors |
|
refractors |
|
reflectors |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
