1

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

54% Answer Correctly

platelets

white

plasma


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


2

59% Answer Correctly

all of these

decomposers

primary and secondary consumers

producers

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.


3

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


4

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

nucleus

cytoplasm

mitochondria


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


5

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
