1

Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

blood type

negative or positive status

Rh factor

blood oxygen capacity


Solution

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.


2

Meteoroids, meteors and meteorites are categorized based on which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

their location

their density

their temperature

their size


Solution

Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.


3

In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

primary or tertiary consumers

secondary or tertiary consumers

primary or secondary consumers

secondary consumers or scavengers


Solution

Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.


4

Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:

82% Answer Correctly

unsaturated fat

fiber

protein

saturated fat


Solution

Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.


5

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
