1

Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

AO

AB

B

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.


2

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

anaerobically

aerobically

in plant cells

in the presence of oxygen


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.


3

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

family

group

atomic number

period


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


4

Menstruation occurs when:

76% Answer Correctly

the ovum becomes fertilized

the ovum fails to become fertilized

the fetus is formed 

the zygote is formed


Solution

If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).


5

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

stationary front

warm front

cold front 

temperate front


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.
