In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?
classes |
|
kingdoms |
|
species |
|
domains |
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base.
high-altitude |
|
mid-altitude |
|
all-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet 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.
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
nervous |
|
circulation |
|
digestion |
|
respiration |
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.
Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?
convex mirror |
|
convex lens |
|
concave mirror |
|
concave lens |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
