1

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

genus

species

domain

family


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.


2

In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.

64% Answer Correctly

right, left

right, right

left, left

left, right


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.


3

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

gas

plasma

solid

liquid


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


4

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

simple nutrients

producers

complex carbohydrates

carrion


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


5

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

stomach

large intestine

pancreas

small intestine


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
