4 |
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.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
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.
When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?
occluded |
|
cold |
|
stationary |
|

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.
The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:
postive or negative |
|
universal donor status |
|
blood type |
|
universal recipient status |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
