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

62% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


4

59% Answer Correctly

precipitation

decomposition

photosynthesis

respiration


Solution

Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.
