Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?
red
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.
Inductance is a factor in which of the following?
an AC circuit
Inductance is a property of an AC circuit (or a component in an AC circuit) that quantifies resistance to changes in current. The current in an AC circuit is continuously changing and inductive reactance (the opposition to change) depends both on the inductance of the circuit or component and the rate at which the current is changing.
Measuring tools provide a convenient and easy way to compare object dimensions against:
a standard
Measuring tools give easy access to the wide variety of standard dimensions that are used to categorize and classify objects.
What links each piston to the engine's crankshaft?
connecting rod
A connecting rod employs a wrist pin to link each piston to the engine's crankshaft.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of direct current?
an example power source is a generator
Direct current flows in only one direction in a circuit, from the negative terminal of the voltage source to the positive. A common source of DC is a battery. In contrast to the constant one-way flow of direct current, alternating current changes direction many times each second. Electricity is delivered from power stations to customers as AC because it provides a more efficient way to transport electricity over long distances.
Most digestion takes place where?
small intestine
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
The fluid reservoir stores the __________ that the master cylinder uses to maintain hydraulic pressure.
brake fluid
The fluid reservoir stores the brake fluid that the master cylinder uses to maintain hydraulic pressure.
What is 7a3 + 7a3?
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
7a3 + 7a3 = 14a3
The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?
mesosphere
In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 8, c = 7, d = 4, and h = 2. What is the area?
The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:
a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(8 + 4)(2)
a = ½(12)(2)
a = ½(24) = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
a = 12
