The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

stratosphere

troposphere

thermosphere

4

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

right atrium

pulmonary vein

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.
