A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum

all of these are correct

a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic

a sound wave is much slower than a light wave
Solution

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.

62% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

lithosphere

geosphere

atmosphere
Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships.

5

The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?

65% Answer Correctly

liver

small intestine

pancreas

all of these are correct
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.
