Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
|
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle |
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.
Which of these digestive enzymes is not produced by the pancreas?
gastric acid |
|
trypsin |
|
lipase |
|
pancreatic amylase |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
dense |
|
hot |
|
makes up most of Earth's volume |
|
all of these |
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:
alkaline |
|
water |
|
neutral |
|
acidic |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
bronchioles |
|
pulmonary |
|
diaphragm |
|
trachea |
The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.
