What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?
secondary consumers |
|
primary consumers |
|
decomposers |
|
producers |
Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis
The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?
sound radiation |
|
Doppler effect |
|
reflection |
|
refraction |
The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.
A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:
a recessive trait |
|
a dominant trait |
|
a chromosome |
|
a gene |
The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive. A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
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.
Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
composite quantities |
|
vector quantities |
|
scalar quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
