62% Answer Correctly

domains

kingdoms

species

classes


Solution

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

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

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

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

large intestine

small intestine

pancreas

stomach


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


5

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

53% Answer Correctly

epiglottis

trachea

pharynx

nasal cavity


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
