The Northern Red Oak has a pinnate vein pattern.
Most (if not all) oaks have pinnate leaves. Maple leaves, which are somewhat similar, are palmate. A pinnate vein pattern has one main vein (called a midrib) with several more branching off. A palmate leaf's veins all start at one point, kind of like the bones of your fingers in your hand. It is easier to see the veins if you look at the underside of the leaf.
If all else fails, pull up Google and search something. Make sure you find several different sources that all say the same thing before determining what is right. This always works for me!:)

How can you tell the difference between a loquat and a kumquat?
A loquat and a kumquat are, indeed, similar in size and color, although there are differences in shape and texture.
The loquat skin is a sort of bright yellow, which gets darker -- almost orange -- when it is ripe. It is almost pear-shaped, with the bottom part wider than the top part. Its skin is covered in a very thin layer of smooth dust-like "fur." Inside, there are slippery brown (non-edible) seeds, about 1 cm in length.
The kumquat is bright orange in color. It is about 4-5 cm in length, and about half of that in width. It has almost an oval shape. It is a member of the citrus family, so the skin has a almost leather-like look, similar to an orange/lemon/grapefruit.
