1

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

right atrium

pulmonary vein

aorta

left ventricle


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 these is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods?

49% Answer Correctly

compound

atom

molecule

element


Solution

An element is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods.


3

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

microwaves → radio waves → visible light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


4

Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?

76% Answer Correctly

46

23

4

2


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


5

Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?

60% Answer Correctly

arteries

heart

veins

capillaries


Solution

Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.
