Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
O-positive |
|
O-negative |
|
O |
|
AB |
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.
The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?
seasons |

the northern lights |
|

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
The fossil record is a product of which period of Earth's history?
Jurassic |
|
Cretaceous |
|
Cambrian |
|
Cenozoic |
The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
