1

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

pulmonary vein

right atrium

left ventricle

aorta


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.


2

Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?

58% Answer Correctly

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere


Solution

The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.


3

In the metric system, what prefix represents 103?

61% Answer Correctly

milli

centi

mega

kilo


Solution

Kilo is the metric system prefix for 103.


4

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

122

-10

10

58


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


5

Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?

42% Answer Correctly

ion

acid

base

hydrogen


Solution

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.
