The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

oxygenates

creates

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.

The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?

63% Answer Correctly

in the Kuiper Belt

between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn

outside the solar system

in the asteroid belt


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
