Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

blood oxygen capacity

negative or positive status

Rh factor

blood type


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

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

stomach

pancreas

small intestine

large intestine


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.

5

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

dense, empty

warmer, cooler

cooler, warmer

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.
