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

reactants

isotopes

products

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

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

anaerobically

in the presence of oxygen

aerobically

in plant cells


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


3

Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?

64% Answer Correctly

breaking down proteins

absorbing nutrients

breaking down starches

breaking down fats


Solution

Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth and tongue break down food mechanically through chewing and saliva, via the enzyme salivary amylase, starts to break starches down chemically. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus where contractions push the food into the stomach.


4

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

universal recipient status

postive or negative

blood type

universal donor status


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


5

In taxonomy, domains are the broadest classification of life. How many domains are there?

60% Answer Correctly

6

3

dozens

5
