1

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

blood type

universal donor status

universal recipient status

postive or negative


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.


2

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

aerobic respiration

anaerobic respiration

photosynthesis

all of these


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


3

Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

B

AB

AO

O


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.


4

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

warmer, cooler

cooler, warmer

dense, empty

empty, dense


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


5

Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?

42% Answer Correctly

convex lens

convex mirror

concave lens

concave mirror


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
