1

Antigens in the blood determine:

53% Answer Correctly

blood oxygen capacity

blood type

Rh factor

negative or positive 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

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

gas

liquid

solid

plasma


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


3

Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:

83% Answer Correctly

unsaturated fat

fiber

saturated fat

protein


Solution

Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.


4

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

76% Answer Correctly

a biome

a community

a food chain

a population


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).


5

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

50% Answer Correctly

water

sediment

liquid mantle

fault lines


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
