Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

Rh factor

negative or positive status

blood type

blood oxygen capacity


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

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

78% Answer Correctly

atmosphere

geosphere

hydrosphere

lithosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


3

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

49% Answer Correctly

capillaries

plasma

arterioles

veins


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


4

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

76% Answer Correctly

a population

a community

a food chain

a biome


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).


5

In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.

55% Answer Correctly

ventricle, atrium

atrium, ventricle

atrium, atrium

ventricle, ventricle


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
