Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
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.
Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one __________ to another.
species |
|
generation |
|
cell |
|
family |
Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another. Heredity is made possible via large strings of chromosomes which carry information encoded in genes.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
solid |
|
gas |
|
liquid |
|
plasma |
The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
Cellular fermentation takes place:
aerobically |
|
in plant cells |
|
anaerobically |
|
in the presence of oxygen |
If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
refractors |
|
reflectors |
|
insulators |
|
conductors |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
