Select one of the following:

  • Protons and electrons

  • Protons and neutrons

  • DNA and RNA

  • Neutrons and electrons

  • DNA only

Explanation

Question 2 of 10

1

Living organisms are composed mainly of which atoms?

Select one of the following:

  • calcium, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen

  • carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen

  • hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and helium

  • carbon, helium, nitrogen, and oxygen

  • carbon, calcium, hydrogen, and oxygen

Explanation

Question 3 of 10

1

The ability of an atom to attract electrons in a bond with another atom is termed its

Select one of the following:

  • hydrophobicity

  • electronegativity

  • solubility

  • valence

  • both a and b

Explanation

Question 4 of 10

1

Hydrogen bonds differ from covalent bonds in that

Select one of the following:

  • covalent bonds can form between any type of atom, and hydrogen bonds form only between H and O.

  • covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons, and hydrogen bonds involve the complete transfer of electrons

  • covalent bonds result from equal sharing of electrons, but hydrogen bonds involve unequal sharing of electrons.

  • covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons between atoms, but hydrogen bonds are the result of weak attractions between a hydrogen atom of a polar molecule and an electronegative atom of another polar molecule.

  • covalent bonds are weak bonds that break easily, but hydrogen ions are strong links between atoms that are not easily broken.

Explanation

  • is an atom with one unpaired electron in its outer shell.

  • is a stable atom that is not bonded to another atom

  • can cause considerable cellular damage

  • both b and d.

Explanation

  • are usually reversible

  • occur in liquid environments, such as water.

  • all of the above

Explanation

Select one of the following:

  • hydrophilic

  • hydrophobic

  • dehydration

  • anabolic

  • hydrolysis
