1

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

51% Answer Correctly

number of atomic mass units

number of electron shells

number of electrons

number of electrons in their outer electron shell


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

The Sun is a __________-type main-sequence star.

64% Answer Correctly

D

G

E

S


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.


3

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromatids

chromosomes

cells

nuclei


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


4

Menstruation occurs when:

76% Answer Correctly

the ovum becomes fertilized

the ovum fails to become fertilized

the zygote is formed

the fetus is formed 


Solution

If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).


5

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

78

-36

36

-4


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
