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

64% Answer Correctly

	left, left
	right, right
	left, 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.

DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

	gametes
	helix
	genes
	nucleotides

Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

	right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle
	right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle
	left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle
	left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

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.
