1

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

group

atomic number

family

period


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


2

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

64% Answer Correctly

left, right

left, left

right, right

right, left


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

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. 

63% Answer Correctly

all-altitude

low-altitude

high-altitude

mid-altitude


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


4

Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following? 

66% Answer Correctly

radiation

reflection

conduction

convection


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.


5

What is the body's largest artery?

73% Answer Correctly

arteriole

aorta

capillary

vena cava


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
