1

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

57% Answer Correctly

negative, positive

antigen, negative

positive, antigen

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.


2

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

power

work

kinetic energy

a force


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


3

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

aerobic respiration

photosynthesis

all of these

anaerobic respiration


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


4

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

59% Answer Correctly

stationary front

temperate front

cold front 

warm 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.


5

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

hottest

closest to the surface

coldest

farthest from the surface


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
