1

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

60% 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.


2

Plant cells are surrounded by:

64% Answer Correctly

only a cell membrane

only a cell wall

a cell membrane and a cell wall

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


3

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

86% Answer Correctly

arthropod

sentient

spiny

vertebrate


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


4

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

species

genus

family

domain


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.


5

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

63% Answer Correctly

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.
