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

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

all of these deal with proteins

ribosomes

endoplasmic reticulum

Golgi apparatus


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.


3

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

63% Answer Correctly

spinal cord

cerebellum

cerebrum

medulla


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.


4

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

cumulonimbus

cirrus

stratus

cumulus


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


5

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

78

-4

-36

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
