2

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

45% Answer Correctly

O-negative

O

AB

AB-positive


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.


3

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

neutron

electron

proton

atom


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.


4

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


5

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
