Which of these statements is true regarding the way light
travels? A. Sound travels faster than light.
B. The speed of light is always the same regardless of the medium
through which it travels.
C. Light travels as both a wave and a particle.
D. Light can not travel through a vacuum. - ANS C. Light travels as both a
wave and a particle.
Light is a curiosity in that it acts as both a wave and a particle. It only
changes direction via reflection (bouncing off of something) or refraction
(passing from one medium to another). In a vacuum, the speed of light is
constant, but when passing through a medium that has an index of
refraction different from a vacuum, light's speed slows.
Which of these elements is liquid at room
temperature? A. mercury
B. zinc
C. manganese
D. magnesium - ANS A. mercury
Mercury is the only one of the elements listed here that is liquid at room

A person with AB- blood should not receive blood from which other
blood type? A. B-
B. A-
C. O-
D. AB+ - ANS D. AB+
Those with an AB- blood type should not receive blood from those with
AB+ blood. Although both AB+ and AB- blood have A and B antigens, the
person with AB- blood lacks a special protein, or "Rhesus" Factor (Rh),
circulating in their blood. If they are given blood that has the Rh factor
present, their body will make antibodies to this foreign substance and
complications will occur. This is especially true in pregnancy situations
where the mother is Rh- and the baby she is carrying is Rh+.

O- blood lacks both A and B antigens and the Rh factor, making it the only
blood type that can donate to everyone.
Note the correct use of the terms antibody and antigen:
O- is the best donor because it does not have A, B or Rh antigens.
AB+ is the universal receiver because it does not have A, B or Rh antibodies.
What is the only artery in the body to carry oxygen-
poor blood? A. renal artery
B. interosseous
artery C. vena
cava
D. pulmonary artery - ANS D. pulmonary artery
Most arteries in the body carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, but
the pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle of
the heart to the lungs. The vena cava would not be correct because it is not
an artery, it is a vein and the question asks for an artery.
