Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Human Body Systems ~ Misconception BFM031

Molecules from food are distributed by way of special tubes, not by way of the circulatory system, to the rest of the body (Catherall, 1982).

Items that test for misconception BFM031 in this project (Original Project) and key idea (Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and molecul…)
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
BF137001	Molecules from food in the digestive tract are absorbed through the walls of capillaries. These molecules then move through the circulatory system to all parts of the body.	43%
BF132001	Molecules from food are absorbed through the walls of microscopically small blood vessels (capillaries). These molecules then move through the circulatory system to all parts of the body.	39%
BF123003	Molecules from food are absorbed into microscopically small blood vessels (capillaries) located in the walls of the digestive tract and then pass into larger blood vessels that carry the molecules to other parts of the body.	35%

Items that test for misconception BFM031 in this project (Original Project) and other key ideas
BF133001	Molecules from food and molecules of oxygen move from the mouth and the nose to cells of the body through a series of blood vessels, including veins, arteries, and microscopically small blood vessels (capillaries), that extend throughout the body.	54%
BF134001	Molecules from food and molecules of oxygen are carried by a network of arteries, veins, and microscopically small blood vessels (capillaries) to the rest of the body.	43%
BF144002	Molecules from food travel from the mouth to the digestive tract and then travel through a series of blood vessels to the cells in the rest of the body.	38%
