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

63% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light


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.

83% Answer Correctly

saturated fat

fiber

protein

unsaturated fat

Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.


3

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

-32

32

0

16


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

arterioles

aorta

capillaries

veins


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.

47% Answer Correctly

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres

a community is made up of a group of populations

an ecosystem is a biological population

a population is made up of a group of communities
