Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

B

AB

AO

O


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.


2

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

warmer, cooler

empty, dense

dense, empty

cooler, warmer


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


3

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the __________ to help break down protein.

77% Answer Correctly

small intestine

large intestine

mouth

stomach


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.


4

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

60% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)

none of these


Solution

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity:  \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\).  Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.


5

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

transpiration

precipitation

both evaporation and transpiration

evaporation


Solution

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.
