1

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

62% Answer Correctly

families

groups

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. 


2

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

respiration

circulation

nervous

digestion


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.


3

An electrically charged atom is a(n):

49% Answer Correctly

neutron

proton

electron

ion


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. 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.


4

In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:

64% Answer Correctly

glycerol and fatty acids

complex carbohydrates

simple sugars

amino acids


Solution

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.


5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

gel

solid

gas

liquid


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.
