Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

49% Answer Correctly

capillaries

arterioles

veins

plasma


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

0

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

100

-100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


3

Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?

74% Answer Correctly

molecule

element

atom

neutron


Solution

An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.


4

Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?

48% Answer Correctly

a direction only

a magnitude and a direction

a magnitude only

a magnitude and a polarity


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?

58% Answer Correctly

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere


Solution

The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.
