Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

right atrium

aorta

pulmonary vein

left 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.

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

sperm

diploids

gametes

ovum


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


3

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:

61% Answer Correctly

conduction

radiation

convection

diffusion


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee. 


4

In which type of compound are electrons shared between atoms?

56% Answer Correctly

molecular

ionic

covalent

chemical


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


5
