Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

blood oxygen capacity

negative or positive status

blood type

Rh factor


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.

71% Answer Correctly

vertebra

tendons

cartilage

ligaments


Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).


3

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

-8

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

\({40 \over 9}\)

-40


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


4

Saturated fats can __________ LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can __________ it.

78% Answer Correctly

raise, decrease

decrease, raise

stabilize, raise

decrease, stabilize


Solution

Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.

Which of blood component allows blood to clot?

74% Answer Correctly

plasma

white blood cells

red blood cells
