Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. These include:
| Organelle | Function | 
|---|---|
| ribosomes | produce proteins | 
| mitochondria | produce energy | 
| endoplasmic reticulum | helps synthesize proteins and fats | 
| Golgi apparatus | prepare proteins for use | 
| lysosomes | help the cell manage waste | 
| centrosomes | guide cell reproduction | 
A prefix is added to the base units of the metric system to indicate variations in size. Each prefix specifies a value relative to the base unit in a multiple of 10. Common prefixes are:
| Prefix | Symbol | Relative Value | Example | 
|---|---|---|---|
| mega | M | 106 (1,000,000) | Mm | 
| kilo | k | 103 (1,000) | km | 
| base unit | N/A | 1 | m | 
| centi | c | 10-2 (1/100) | cm | 
| milli | m | 10-3 (1/1,000) | mm | 
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
