The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% 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.


2

As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?

45% Answer Correctly

sedimentation

evaporation

photosynthesis

decomposition


Solution

The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.


3

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

85% Answer Correctly

radiation

electricity

convection

conduction


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.


4

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

classes

domains

kingdoms

species


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


5

80% Answer Correctly

proton

neutron

electron

atom


Solution
