In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:
atomic number |
|
family |
|
group |
|
period |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?
aorta |
|
pulmonary vein |
|
left ventricle |
|
right atrium |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?
is a yellow dwarf star |
|
is composed of hydrogen and helium |
|
formed 2.6 billion years ago |
|
makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system |
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
atom |
|
proton |
|
neutron |
|
electron |
A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
circulation |
|
digestion |
|
nervous |
|
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.
