1

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:

67% Answer Correctly

neutral

acidic

alkaline

water


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


2

What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?

70% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebellum

brainstem

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


3

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

41

-23

37

27


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


4

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle


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.


5

Which of blood component carries oxygen?

83% Answer Correctly

red blood cells

plasma

platelets

white blood cells


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
