Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph:      Q: Karyotyping shows whether what structures, which contain genetic information, are normal in number and appearance?   Choices:  - neutrons  - ribosomes  - nucleoids  - chromosomes  A:
Ans: chromosomes

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Summary The atoms in chemical compounds are held together by attractive electrostatic interactions known as chemical bonds. Ionic compounds contain positively and negatively charged ions in a ratio that results in an overall charge of zero. The ions are held together in a regular spatial arrangement by electrostatic forces. Mostcovalent compounds consist of molecules, groups of atoms in which one or more pairs of electrons are shared by at least two atoms to form a covalent bond. The atoms in molecules are held together by the electrostatic attractionbetween the positively charged nuclei of the bonded atoms and the negatively charged electrons shared by the nuclei. The molecular formula of a covalent compound gives the types and numbers of atoms present. Compounds that contain predominantly carbon and hydrogen are called organic compounds, whereas compounds that consist primarily of elements other than carbon and hydrogen areinorganic compounds. Diatomic molecules contain two atoms, andpolyatomic molecules contain more than two. A structural formula indicates the composition and approximate structure and shape of a molecule. Single bonds, double bonds, and triple bonds are covalent bonds in which one, two, and three pairs of electrons, respectively, are shared between two Saylor URL: http://www. saylor. org/books.   Q: What kind of compounds contain positively and negatively charged ions in a ratio that results in an overall charge of zero?   Choices:  - neutral compounds  - zero charged compunds  - zeronic ions  - ionic compounds  A:
Ans: ionic compounds

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Like bacteria, archaeans are important decomposers. For example, archaeans help break down sewage in waste treatment plants. As decomposers, they help recycle carbon and nitrogen.   Q: Archaeans help break down sewage in waste treatment plants, so they fulfill what important role?   Choices:  - producers  - consumers  - pollenation  - decomposer  A:
Ans: decomposer

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph:   rates The rates at which reactants are consumed and products are formed during chemical reactions vary greatly. We can identify five factors that affect the rates of chemical reactions: the chemical nature of the reacting substances, the state of subdivision (one large lump versus many small particles) of the reactants, the temperature of the reactants, the concentration of the reactants, and the presence of a catalyst.   Q: The presence of what, which acts as a trigger, affects the rate of chemical reaction?   Choices:  - friction  - heat  - light  - catalyst  A:
Ans:
catalyst
