1

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

number of atomic mass units

number of electron shells

number of electrons


Solution

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.


2

__________ is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.

82% Answer Correctly

shingles

anemia

diabetes

scurvy


Solution

Anemia, which may cause weakness, dizziness, and headaches is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.


3

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

ovum → zygote → fetus

ovum → fetus → zygote

zygote → ovum → fetus

none of these are correct


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.


4

Carbohydrates are found in:

89% Answer Correctly

sugars and starches

food additives

vegetable oils

animal sources


Solution

Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).


5

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
