Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?
right atrium |
|
aorta |
|
pulmonary vein |
|
left ventricle |
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.
An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?
similar moisture |
|
similar density |
|
all of these |
|
similar temperature |
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?
number of neutrons in the nucleus |
|
number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus |
|
number of protons in the nucleus |
|
number of electrons orbiting the nucleus |
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.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
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.
The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?
stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
thermosphere |
The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.
