1

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

62% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right 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.


2

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:

79% Answer Correctly

population

ecosystem

biome

community


Solution

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).


3

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

57% Answer Correctly

period

epoch

age

eon


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.


4

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

transpiration

both evaporation and transpiration

evaporation

precipitation


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


5

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

mitochondria

nucleus

Golgi apparatus

cytoplasm


Solution

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