1

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

69% Answer Correctly

dense, empty

empty, dense

warmer, cooler

cooler, warmer


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


2

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

58% Answer Correctly

universal recipient status

postive or negative

universal donor status

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

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

47% Answer Correctly

comets orbit the Sun

comets have an atmosphere

asteroids contain frozen water

asteroids have a coma


Solution

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.


4

The two heart chambers that pump blood called:

59% Answer Correctly

ventricles

atria

valves

aorta


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


5

A transition zone between two air masses is called:

71% Answer Correctly

boundary

fog

thunderstorm

front


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.
