1

Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

blood type

blood oxygen capacity

Rh factor

negative or positive status


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.

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

100

0

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

-100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


3

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

83% Answer Correctly

conductors

insulators

refractors

reflectors


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.


4

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

decomposers

primary consumers

producers

secondary consumers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis


5

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

bacteria

archaea

eukaryota

animalia


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
