1

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

negative, positive

antigen, negative

positive, negative

positive, antigen


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.


2

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

refractive index

90°

focal point

angle of incidence


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


3

Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

heating

phase transition

sublimation

cooling


Solution

A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.


4

Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?

64% Answer Correctly

reactants

ions

products

isotopes


Solution

The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.


5

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

68% Answer Correctly

conduction

convection

radiation

reflection


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
