Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
protons |
|
electron shells |
|
atomic mass units |
|
electrons |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
neutron |
|
atom |
|
proton |
|
electron |
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
circulation |
|
digestion |
|
respiration |
|
nervous |
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.
In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:
complex carbohydrates |
|
amino acids |
|
glycerol and fatty acids |
|
simple sugars |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
