1

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

blood type

postive or negative

universal donor status

universal recipient 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

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

starches

ascorbic acid or peptides

water

lactic acid or alcohol


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


3

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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

An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?

86% Answer Correctly

similar temperature

similar moisture

all of these

similar density


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


5

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

kinetic

potential

transitional

gravitational


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
