1

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

63% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

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.


2

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

digestion

circulation

respiration

nervous


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


3

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

work

power

kinetic energy

a force


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


4

The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:

63% Answer Correctly

groups

families

periods

shells


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. 


5

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

ventricles

valves

aorta

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
