Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

41

27

-23

37


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


2

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

capillaries

arterioles

aorta

veins


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.


3

Regulation of heart rhythm occurs in:

61% Answer Correctly

medulla

nerves

cerebellum

cerebrum


Solution

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.


4

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

anaerobically

in the presence of oxygen

in plant cells

aerobically


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


5

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

reproductive

digestive

nervous

circulatory


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.
