1

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

aorta

right atrium

left ventricle

pulmonary vein


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

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

46% Answer Correctly

comets have an atmosphere

asteroids contain frozen water

asteroids have a coma

comets orbit the Sun


Solution

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.


3

Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

fuel

components

reactants

products


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


4

Veins carry blood __________ the heart.

55% Answer Correctly

back to 

all of these

away from

within


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.


5

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

82% Answer Correctly

insulators

conductors

refractors

reflectors


Solution

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.
