1

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

nervous

circulation

digestion

respiration


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


2

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays


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

Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

sublimation

cooling

heating

phase transition


Solution

A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.


4

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

65% Answer Correctly

starches

protein

sugars

fat


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.


5

In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:

41% Answer Correctly

runoff

oceans

water table

rivers


Solution

The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.
