1

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

ovum → fetus → zygote

none of these are correct

ovum → zygote → fetus

zygote → ovum → fetus


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.


2

Meteoroids, meteors and meteorites are categorized based on which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

their location

their size

their density

their temperature


Solution

Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.


3

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?

63% Answer Correctly

animals

fungi

bacteria

plants


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


4

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

nasal cavity

epiglottis

trachea

pharynx


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.


5

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

right atrium

left ventricle

aorta

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.
