Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


2

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


3

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?

60% Answer Correctly

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays


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

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

oxygenates

deoxygenates

creates

filters


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

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

85% Answer Correctly

radiation

electricity

conduction

convection


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.
