animal sources |
|
sugars and starches |
|
food additives |
|
vegetable oils |
Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).

G |
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
The universal recipient blood type can recieve any other blood type. Which blood type is the universal recipient?
O-negative |
|
AB-positive |
|
O |
|
AB |
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.
Water has a refractive index of 1.33. Which of the following is true?
light travels 1.33 times slower in a vacuum than it does in water |
|
light is 1.33 times dimmer in a vacuum than it is in water |
|
light is 1.33 times brighter in a vacuum than it is in water |
|
light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water |
The speed of light varies based on the material that the waves are passing through. The refractive index of a material indicates how easily light travels through it compared to how easily light travels through a vacuum. For example, the refractive index of water is 1.33, meaning that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water.
Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?
freezing |
|
stormy |
|
fair |
|
hot |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
