1

Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?

74% Answer Correctly

atom

element

neutron

molecule


Solution

An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.


2

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, high

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, low

oxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


3

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

hot

dense

makes up most of Earth's volume

all of these


Solution

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.


4

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

73% Answer Correctly

platelets

atria

valves

capillaries


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.


5

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 kL

1 mL

1 ML

1 cL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
