1

Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

negative or positive status

blood type

Rh factor

blood oxygen capacity


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

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

veins

aorta

capillaries

arterioles


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


3

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

lithosphere

geosphere

atmosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


4

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration

all of these

photosynthesis


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
