Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

49% Answer Correctly

arterioles

capillaries

plasma

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.

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-8

\({40 \over 9}\)

-40


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


3

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

75% Answer Correctly

stationary

warm 

cold

occluded


Solution

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


4

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

a cell membrane and a cell wall

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

only a cell wall

only a cell membrane


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


5

What part of the nervous system is responsible for controlling involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat?

63% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebrum

cerebellum

spinal cord


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.
