Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible 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.
What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?
atria |
|
valves |
|
platelets |
|
capillaries |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?
warm front |
|
cold front |
|
temperate front |
|
stationary front |
A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.
Which of these digestive enzymes is not produced by the pancreas?
lipase |
|
pancreatic amylase |
|
gastric acid |
|
trypsin |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
