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.
molecule |
|
ion |
|
neutron |
|
isotope |
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.

diabetes |
|
scurvy |
|
shingles |
|
anemia |
Anemia, which may cause weakness, dizziness, and headaches is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
fourth |
|
first |
|
third |
|
second |
Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:
complex carbohydrates |
|
glycerol and fatty acids |
|
amino acids |
|
simple sugars |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
