Antigens in the blood determine:
blood type |
|
Rh factor |
|
blood oxygen capacity |
|
negative or positive status |
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.
Meteoroids, meteors and meteorites are categorized based on which of the following?
their temperature |
|
their location |
|
their size |
|
their density |
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.
The formula for acceleration is which of the following?
\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) |
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, \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
solid |
|
primarily solid |
|
primarily liquid |
|
liquid |
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
Which of blood component carries oxygen?
red blood cells |
|
plasma |
|
white blood cells |
|
platelets |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
