convection |
|
radiation |
|

|
electricity |

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
composite quantities |
|
vector quantities |
|
scalar quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.
deoxygenated, low |
|
oxygenated, low |
|
oxygenated, high |
|
deoxygenated, high |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
AB |
|
O-negative |
|
O-positive |
|
O |
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.
