The universal recipient blood type can recieve any other blood type. Which blood type is the universal recipient?

45% Answer Correctly

AB

O

AB-positive

O-negative


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.

I biome is made up of naturally occurring flora and fauna.  Fauna is which of the following?

60% Answer Correctly

minerals

animals

plants

habitats


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).


3

Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?

65% Answer Correctly

producers and tertiary consumers

herbivores and autotrophs

primary consumers and omnivores

scavengers and decomposers


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


4

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

a cell membrane and a cell wall

only a cell wall

only a cell membrane


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


5

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

mass is the amount of matter something has

weight depends on the location where it is measured

mass depends on the location where it is measured

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
