Yes. Microwaves are the segment from 0.3GHz to 300GHz with wavelengths from roughly one metre to one millimetre respectively. There are a number of named sub-divisions created for easy reference purposes in communication systems and licensing e.g. UHF, EHF, SHF.

Would microwaves have a high or low penetrating ability relative to other em waves?
microwaves are more penetrative than gamma rays, UV radiation and visible light, but less so than radio waves.
What type of EM radiation has the shortest wave length and the most energy?
gamma rays
The type of heat transfer that does not always require matter to occur?
Radiation by EM waves which can travel in a vacuum
What two properties of EM radiation change from one end of the EM spectrum to the other?
Frequency (wavelength). Shorter where x-rays are and longer where microwaves are.
Type of EM waves the microwave uses?
microwaves
Type of radio waves that excites water molecules?
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The EM waves used in microwaves are chosen speciiffically for there ability to excite water molecules.
What type of em radiation do conventional ovens use?
infrared radiation ;)<3
What type of em radiation has shortest wavelength and most energy?

What will happen if you stand in a room which emits electro magnetic radiation?
Depends on what TYPE of EM radiation. Also how much. If the room is emitting infra-red radiation, that only means the room has a temperature. If visible light, that only means you are not in the dark. If low frequency radio waves, most likely nothing will happen. Microwaves, ultra-violet light, and EM radiation of higher frequency can cause burns, damage to cells, and even death. But, in all cases (even gamma rays), it matters far more how MUCH of the radiation is being irradiated on you.

Are microwaves in space?
yes, they are also a type of electromagnetic waves. any EM wave can travel in space as they can pass through vacuum.
What type of short wave em radiation is used to look inside a human body?
Xray.
