During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?
both evaporation and transpiration |
|
transpiration |
|
evaporation |
|
precipitation |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?
plasma |
|
platelets |
|
red |
|
white |
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.
Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.
positive, antigen |
|
negative, positive |
|
positive, negative |
|
antigen, negative |
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.
In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:
nuclei |
|
chromatids |
|
chromosomes |
|
cells |
During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.
As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.
pushes under |
|
mixes with |
|
pushes above |
|
cancels out |
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
