The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
focal point |
|
90° |
|
refractive index |
|
angle of incidence |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
Blood is created in:
bone marrow |
|
red blood cells |
|
the liver |
|
the heart |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
O-negative |
|
O-positive |
|
AB |
|
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.
Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?
capillaries |
|
arteries |
|
veins |
|
heart |
Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.
During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?
evaporation |
|
transpiration |
|
precipitation |
|
both evaporation and transpiration |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
