Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?
is a yellow dwarf star |
|
is composed of hydrogen and helium |
|
formed 2.6 billion years ago |
|
makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system |
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?
carrion |
|
complex carbohydrates |
|
producers |
|
simple nutrients |
Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.
The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:
universal donor status |
|
universal recipient status |
|

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.
An electrically charged atom is a(n):
neutron |
|
ion |
|
electron |
|
proton |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
