1

Which of blood component allows blood to clot?

74% Answer Correctly

red blood cells

white blood cells

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


2

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


3

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

65% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebrum

cerebellum

brainstem


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).


4

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

creates

oxygenates

deoxygenates

filters


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.


5

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

temperate front

warm front

cold front 

stationary front


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.
