1

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

64% Answer Correctly

products

isotopes

reactants

ions


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.


2

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

49% Answer Correctly

273K

32°F

0°C

0°F


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.


3

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

ventricles

valves

atria

aorta


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.


4

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:

71% Answer Correctly

cartilage

tendons

ligaments

vertebra


Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).


5

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromosomes

nuclei

cells

chromatids


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.
