1

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

arteriole

capillary

aorta

vena cava


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.


2

The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?

52% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

thermosphere

mesosphere

troposphere


Solution

In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).


3

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

creates

filters

oxygenates

deoxygenates


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.


4

In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

54% Answer Correctly

nucleus

cell membrane

cytoplasm

cell wall


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.


5

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

49% Answer Correctly

arterioles

veins

plasma

capillaries


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.
