polyunsaturated |
|
cholesterol |
|
monounsaturated |
|

Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils).
Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
solid |
|
liquid |
|
primarily liquid |
|
primarily solid |
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
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.
In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?
domains |
|
kingdoms |
|
species |
|
classes |
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
insulators |
|
reflectors |
|
refractors |
|
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.
