1

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

64% Answer Correctly

fat

protein

sugars

starches


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.


2

Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

negative or positive status

Rh factor

blood oxygen capacity

blood type


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.


3

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

large intestine

stomach

small intestine

pancreas


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


4

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

negative, positive

antigen, negative

positive, antigen

positive, negative


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.


5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

81% Answer Correctly

plasma

gas

solid

liquid


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
