blood type |
|
postive or negative |

universal recipient status |
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.
In the food chain, bacteria and fungi convert the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. Bacteria and fungi are:
scavengers |
|
producers |
|
primary consumers |
|
decomposers |
Decomposers (saprotrophs) are organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients.
The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:
atria |
|
valves |
|
ventricles |
|
aorta |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?
brainstem |
|
cerebrum |
|
cerebellum |
|

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).
Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
empty, dense |
|
cooler, warmer |
|
warmer, cooler |
|
dense, empty |
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.
