large intestine

small intestine


Solution

2

The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

stratosphere

troposphere

mesosphere


Solution

Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.


3

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

none of these

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


4

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

58% Answer Correctly

universal donor status

universal recipient status

postive or negative

blood type


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.


5

none of these


Solution
