3

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

warmer, cooler

empty, dense

cooler, warmer

dense, empty


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


4

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

ovum → fetus → zygote

zygote → ovum → fetus

ovum → zygote → fetus

none of these are correct


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.
