1

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

atria

valves

aorta

ventricles


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


2

Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?

89% Answer Correctly

fiber

carbohydrates

protein

fats


Solution

Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.


3

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

55% Answer Correctly

solid

liquid

primarily liquid

primarily solid


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.


4

All surface water is part of the:

76% Answer Correctly

atmosphere

hydrosphere

lithosphere

geosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


5

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

digestion

circulation

respiration

nervous


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
