Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?

51% Answer Correctly

O

AB

O-negative

O-positive


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.

Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the longest time period? 

67% Answer Correctly

era

age

eon

epoch


Solution

The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.


3

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

thermosphere

troposphere

stratosphere


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.


4

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

72% Answer Correctly

secondary consumers

primary consumers

producers

decomposers


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

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

inherent

kinetic

potential

gravitational


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
