General Science Questions

Exercise frequency refers to number of times you exercise per week.

Plant cell walls are mostly made up of the molecule cellulose. Cellulose is a polysaccharide, a complex sugar made of long chains of glucose.

The cell wall must be made of thick and strong material as it provides the structural shape of the plant and protection from insects and microorganisms.

All the organisms on your campus make up a community.

An omnivore is an animal that eats food from both plants and animals.

Animals that eat other animals are called carnivores. Carnivores that eat herbivores are called secondary consumers, and carnivores that eat other carnivores are called tertiary consumers.

The sources of energy during exercise are muscle glycogen, blood sugar, blood fatty acids and intramuscuar triacylglycerols.

In transfusions of packed red blood cells, individuals with type O Rh D negative blood are often called universal donors. Those with type AB Rh D positive blood are called universal recipients.

The immune system of a person with AB blood will accept blood from all possible donors, whether they have O, A, B, or AB blood. Since both A and B antigens are present in a person with AB blood, the recipient won't reject the blood. The body identifies that blood as "self" rather than "foreign."
