Convert 0C° to F°.
16 |
|
32 |
|
-32 |
|
0 |
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)
\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
AB |
|
O-negative |
|
O-positive |
|
O |
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.
Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?
domain |
|
species |
|
genus |
|
family |
The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:
group |
|
period |
|
atomic number |
|
family |
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.
Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?
convex mirror |
|
concave mirror |
|
convex lens |
|
concave lens |
Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
