Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
O |
|
AB |
|
O-positive |
|
O-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.
Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?
pharynx |
|
epiglottis |
|
trachea |
|
nasal cavity |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?
rock |
|
gaseous methane, ammonia, and water |
|
frozen methane, ammonia, and water |
|
minerals |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?
a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic |
|
all of these are correct |
|
a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum |
|
a sound wave is much slower than a light wave |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.

cartilage |
|
