Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

blood type

Rh factor

negative or positive status

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.


3

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?

75% Answer Correctly

occluded

cold

warm 

stationary


Solution

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.


4

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?

70% Answer Correctly

high-altitude

low-altitude

ground level

mid-altitude


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


5

In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.

55% Answer Correctly

atrium, ventricle

ventricle, atrium

atrium, atrium

ventricle, ventricle


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
