1

The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?

66% Answer Correctly

small intestine

pancreas

all of these are correct

liver


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.

"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

74% Answer Correctly

fourth

first

second

third


Solution

Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.


3

Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?

71% Answer Correctly

mantle

inner core

outer core

continents


Solution

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.


4

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

62% Answer Correctly

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

right atrium → left 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.


5

The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?

53% Answer Correctly

troposphere

thermosphere

mesosphere

stratosphere


Solution

In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
