1

The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.

57% Answer Correctly

red blood cells

arteries

veins

capillaries


Solution

Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.


2

Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?

58% Answer Correctly

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere


Solution

The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.


3

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

filters

oxygenates

deoxygenates

creates


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.


4

Absolute zero is which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

the freezing point of oxygen

0°C

the freezing point of hydrogen

the coldest temperature possible in the universe


Solution

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.


5

The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

66% Answer Correctly

universal gravitation

third law of motion

first law of motion

second law of motion


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.
