1

Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?

74% Answer Correctly

element

molecule

atom

neutron


Solution

An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.


2

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

60% Answer Correctly

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light


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.


3

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

nuclei

cells

chromosomes

chromatids


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


4

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle


Solution

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.


5

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?

48% Answer Correctly

ionic

covalent

chemical

molecular


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
