  • 2. 

    The ____________ has the largest eyes of any animal, roughly the size of a basketball.

    Explanation
    The giant squid has the largest eyes of any animal, roughly the size of a basketball. This is because the giant squid lives in the deep ocean where there is very little light, so it needs large eyes to gather as much light as possible. The large eyes also help the giant squid to spot prey and navigate in its dark environment.

    Which planet in our solar system rotates on its side, an east-west axis, rather than north-south?

    • Jupiter

    • Mars

    • Uranus

    • Saturn

    • All of the above - all the planets in our solar system rotate on an east-west axis.

    Correct Answer
    A. Uranus
    Explanation
    Most planets spin on a north-south axis, and scientists are still unsure why Uranus spins on its side, but think that it might have been a large collision in the early days of the universe.

    True or False: If two objects of the same shape, but different weights, fall from the same height, the heavier object will land first?

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    How long does it take an individual blood cell to make a complete circuit of the body?

    • About 20 seconds

    • About one minute

    • About ten minutes

    • About half an hour

    • None of the above - an individual blood cell only travels through a particular part of the body.

    Correct Answer
    A. About one minute
    Explanation
    An individual blood cell takes about one minute to make a complete circuit of the body. This means that it travels through all parts of the body within this time frame. The other options, such as 20 seconds, ten minutes, and half an hour, are not accurate because they either underestimate or overestimate the time it takes for a blood cell to circulate throughout the entire body.
