The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:
shells |
|
periods |
|
groups |
|
families |
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.
What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?
brainstem |
|
cerebellum |
|
cerebrum |
|
medulla |
The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).
Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
fuel |
|
products |
|
components |
|
reactants |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?
anaerobic respiration |
|
all of these |
|
aerobic respiration |
|
photosynthesis |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?
chemical |
|
acidic |
|
ionic |
|
covalent |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. 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.
