1

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

positive, antigen

antigen, negative

negative, positive

positive, negative


Solution

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 metamorphic rock?

52% Answer Correctly

obsidian

marble

granite

coal


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


3

Which of the following describes the Earth's outer core?

45% Answer Correctly

primarily solid

liquid

solid

makes up most of the Earth's volume


Solution

The Earth's core is divided into the liquid outer core (1,430 miles or 2,300 km radius) and the solid inner core (745 miles or 1,200 km radius).


4

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


5

A human heart consists of how many chambers?

84% Answer Correctly

1

8

2

4


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
