What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
cerebrum |
|
medulla |
|
brainstem |
|
cerebellum |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.
positive, antigen |
|
negative, positive |
|
positive, negative |
|
antigen, negative |
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.
pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 4 is:
basic |
|
alkaline |
|
acidic |
|
neutral |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
conductors |
|
reflectors |
|
insulators |
|
refractors |
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.
Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?
0°F |
|
32°F |
|
273K |
|
0°C |
The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
