Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?

64% Answer Correctly

products

ions

isotopes

reactants


Solution

The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.


2

In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

primary or tertiary consumers

secondary or tertiary consumers

secondary consumers or scavengers

primary or secondary consumers


Solution

Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.


3

Blood is created in:

68% Answer Correctly

the heart

the liver

red blood cells

bone marrow


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


4

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

32

-32

16


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
