Review

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

69% Answer Correctly

	third
	fourth
	second
	first

Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

63% Answer Correctly

	endoplasmic reticulum
	all of these deal with proteins
	Golgi apparatus
	ribosomes

Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

	carrion
	producers
	simple nutrients
	complex carbohydrates

Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

	more
	fewer
	equal numbers of
	double the number of

Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

	side effects
	results
	products
	reactants

Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
