1

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?

75% Answer Correctly

stationary

warm 

cold

occluded


Solution

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.


2

In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.

55% Answer Correctly

atrium, ventricle

ventricle, atrium

atrium, atrium

ventricle, ventricle


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.


3

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


4

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

pancreas

large intestine

stomach

small intestine


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.


5

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

creates

filters

oxygenates


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.
