1

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

49% Answer Correctly

arterioles

veins

capillaries

plasma


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.

54% Answer Correctly

all of these

rats

cows

Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


3

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

64% Answer Correctly

water

ascorbic acid or peptides

lactic acid or alcohol

starches


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


4

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

73% Answer Correctly

platelets

valves

capillaries

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


5

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

ventricles

atria

valves

aorta


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
