During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?
minerals |
|
salt |
|
water |
|
fats |
Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.
What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?
brainstem |
|
medulla |
|
cerebellum |
|
cerebrum |
The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
angle of incidence |
|
refractive index |
|
90° |
|
focal point |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
The fossil record is a product of which period of Earth's history?
Cenozoic |
|
Cretaceous |
|
Cambrian |
|
Jurassic |
The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
