Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

48% Answer Correctly

plasma

arterioles

capillaries

veins


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.


2

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

62% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


3

Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?

64% Answer Correctly

breaking down fats

breaking down proteins

breaking down starches

absorbing nutrients


Solution

Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth and tongue break down food mechanically through chewing and saliva, via the enzyme salivary amylase, starts to break starches down chemically. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus where contractions push the food into the stomach.


4

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

71% Answer Correctly

solid

Solution

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


5

The two heart chambers that pump blood called:

59% Answer Correctly

valves

ventricles

atria

aorta


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
