1

Which of these is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods?

49% Answer Correctly

molecule

compound

atom

element


Solution

An element is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods.


2

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

63% Answer Correctly

reactants

isotopes

ions

products


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.


3

Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?

74% Answer Correctly

molecule

neutron

element

atom


Solution

An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.


4

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

aerobic respiration

anaerobic respiration

photosynthesis

all of these


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


5

The Sun is a __________-type main-sequence star.

64% Answer Correctly

D

S

E

G


Solution

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.
