86% Answer Correctly

scavengers

producers

primary consumers

decomposers

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

atria

valves

ventricles

aorta


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.

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

66% Answer Correctly

brainstem

cerebrum

5

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

69% Answer Correctly

empty, dense

cooler, warmer

warmer, cooler

dense, empty


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
