Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?
domain |
|
family |
|
species |
|
genus |
The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
In the foood chain, producers serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through:
autotrophs |
|
decomposition |
|
photosynthesis |
|
chemosynthesis |

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
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.
During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?
both evaporation and transpiration |
|
precipitation |
|
evaporation |
|
transpiration |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:
group |
|
family |
|
period |
|
atomic number |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
