1

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

more complex

less complex

similarly complex

none of these


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.


2

In the food chain, consumers are classified as which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

tertiary

all of these

primary

secondary


Solution

Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.


3

Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?

65% Answer Correctly

producers and tertiary consumers

herbivores and autotrophs

scavengers and decomposers

primary consumers and omnivores


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


4

In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.

64% Answer Correctly

left, left

right, left

right, right

left, right


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.


5

A human heart consists of how many chambers?

84% Answer Correctly

8

1

2

4


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
