Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

left ventricle

aorta

right atrium

pulmonary vein


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

The rate of vibration of sound is called:

83% Answer Correctly

volume

frequency

period

amplitude


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.


3

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

-100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

100

0


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


4

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

85% Answer Correctly

convection

electricity

radiation

conduction


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.


5

The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:

63% Answer Correctly

groups

families

shells

periods


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
