1

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

atria

aorta

ventricles

valves


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.


2

Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the longest time period? 

67% Answer Correctly

epoch

eon

era

age


Solution

The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.


3

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

nucleus

Golgi apparatus

cytoplasm

mitochondria


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


4

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

water

lactic acid or alcohol

starches

ascorbic acid or peptides


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


5

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

refractive index

90°

angle of incidence

focal point


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
