2

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electron shells

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

number of atomic mass units

number of electrons


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.


3

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

63% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

all of these deal with proteins

ribosomes

endoplasmic reticulum


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.


4

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

potential

transitional

gravitational

kinetic


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


5

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?

63% Answer Correctly

plants

fungi

bacteria

animals


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)
