2

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

75% Answer Correctly

warm 

occluded

3

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

in plant cells

aerobically

in the presence of oxygen

anaerobically


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


4

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of protons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


5

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

57% Answer Correctly

negative, positive

positive, antigen

antigen, negative

positive, negative


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.
