2

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

trachea

nasal cavity

pharynx

epiglottis


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.


3

The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?

66% Answer Correctly

all of these are correct

pancreas

small intestine

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.


4

Which of the following is igneous rock?

69% Answer Correctly

marble

shale

sandstone

granite


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


5

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

anaphase

interphase

megaphase

cytokinesis


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
