1

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

electrons

electron shells

atomic mass units

protons


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number. 


2

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

50% Answer Correctly

water

liquid mantle

sediment

fault lines


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.


3

Menstruation occurs when:

76% Answer Correctly

the ovum becomes fertilized

the ovum fails to become fertilized

the fetus is formed 

the zygote is formed


Solution

If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).


4

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

71% Answer Correctly

ligaments

tendons

vertebra

cartilage


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

The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:

62% Answer Correctly

groups

families

shells

periods


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
