The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

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 fossil record is a product of which period of Earth's history?

57% Answer Correctly

Jurassic

Cenozoic

Cambrian

Cretaceous


Solution

The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.


4

Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?

72% Answer Correctly

gas

liquid

none of these

solid


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


5

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:

68% Answer Correctly

water

alkaline

neutral

acidic


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
