73% Answer Correctly

secondary consumers

primary consumers

tertiary consumers

3

A __________ is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. 

72% Answer Correctly

isotope

ion

neutron

molecule


Solution

A molecule is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. The molecules of elements consist of two or more similar atoms, the molecules of compounds consist of two or more different atoms.


4

In which type of compound are electrons shared between atoms?

56% Answer Correctly

chemical

ionic

covalent

molecular


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.

Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
