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.

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromosomes

chromatids

cells

nuclei


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


3

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:

71% Answer Correctly

ligaments

vertebra

tendons

cartilage


Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

-8

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-40

\({40 \over 9}\)


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


5

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

64% Answer Correctly

protein

fat

sugars

starches


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
