Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

aorta

left ventricle

pulmonary vein

right atrium


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

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?

75% Answer Correctly

stationary

cold

occluded

warm 


Solution

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.


3

A transition zone between two air masses is called:

71% Answer Correctly

boundary

thunderstorm

fog

front


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


4

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:

67% Answer Correctly

neutral

alkaline

water

acidic


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


5

49% Answer Correctly

compound
