1

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

period

family

atomic number

group


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


2

Secondary consumers that also eat producers are known as:

63% Answer Correctly

scavengers

omnivores

herbivores

carnivores


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


3

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

72% Answer Correctly

nervous

circulation

respiration

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.


4

Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.

73% Answer Correctly

tertiary consumers

scavengers

primary consumers

secondary consumers


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


5

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

endoplasmic reticulum

Golgi apparatus

all of these deal with proteins

ribosomes


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.
