The universal recipient blood type can recieve any other blood type. Which blood type is the universal recipient?

45% Answer Correctly

O-negative

O

AB-positive

AB


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.

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

83% Answer Correctly

transport nutrients

deoxygenate blood

transport oxygen

add carbon dioxide


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


4

The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?

52% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

stratosphere

troposphere

mesosphere


Solution

In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).


5

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

troposphere

stratosphere

thermosphere


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.
