Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

48% Answer Correctly

plasma

veins

capillaries

arterioles


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.

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

78

-4

36

-36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


3

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

46% Answer Correctly

asteroids contain frozen water

comets orbit the Sun

asteroids have a coma

comets have an atmosphere


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.


4
