77% Answer Correctly

tides

day and night cycle

the northern lights

86% Answer Correctly

convection

electricity

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

55% Answer Correctly

white

platelets

plasma

red


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

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

deoxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
