75% Answer Correctly

a biome

a community

a population

a food chain

3

The universal recipient blood type can recieve any other blood type. Which blood type is the universal recipient?

45% Answer Correctly

AB-positive

O-negative

O

AB


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.


4

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

50% Answer Correctly

water

liquid mantle

fault lines

sediment


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.

73% Answer Correctly
