1

Examples of tertiary consumers include:

73% Answer Correctly

sharks

cows

fish

chickens


Solution

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.


2

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, low

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

oxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


3

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves


Solution

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.


4

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


5

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

atomic mass units

electron shells

electrons

protons


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
