1

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

60% Answer Correctly

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

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.


2

Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?

65% Answer Correctly

scavengers and decomposers

producers and tertiary consumers

herbivores and autotrophs

primary consumers and omnivores


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.


3

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

electrons

atomic mass units

protons

electron 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. 


4

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

65% Answer Correctly

brainstem

medulla

cerebrum

cerebellum


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).


5

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

67% Answer Correctly
