1

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

creates

deoxygenates

oxygenates

filters


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.


2

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

28% Answer Correctly

snow

snow or ice

rain

ice


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.


3

The most diverse kindgom of life is which of the following?

46% Answer Correctly

protists

plants

fungi

animals


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


4

An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?

86% Answer Correctly

similar temperature

all of these

similar density

similar moisture


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


5

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
