1

Most digestion takes place where?

65% Answer Correctly

small intestine

stomach

large intestine

mouth


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.

In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

54% Answer Correctly

Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.


3

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

arteriole

aorta

capillary

vena cava


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


4

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

vector quantities

scalar quantities

composite quantities

combinational quantities


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

Examples of secondary consumers include:

52% Answer Correctly

plankton

wolves

grasshoppers

chickens


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.
