Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
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.
Which of the following is metamorphic rock?
marble |
|
coal |
|
granite |
|
obsidian |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:
fat |
|
starches |
|
sugars |
|
protein |
The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
