2

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 ML

1 kL

1 cL

1 mL


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.


3

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

sperm

diploids

gametes

ovum


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


4

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

gel

solid

gas

liquid


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


5

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

aorta

pulmonary vein

left ventricle

right atrium


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.
