The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

universal recipient status

blood type

postive or negative

universal donor status


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

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electrons

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

number of electron shells

number of atomic mass units


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


3

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

farthest from the surface

hottest

coldest

closest to the surface


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

Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one __________ to another.

81% Answer Correctly

generation

species

cell

family


Solution

Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another. Heredity is made possible via large strings of chromosomes which carry information encoded in genes.


5

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

32

16

-32

0


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
