Please mark my multiple choice paper: Mark the INCORRECT alternative concerning the Introduction to Biochemistry: B) To learn the main chemical elements of the human body. To learn only the structures of atoms, but not of ions and molecules. To learn the properties of acids, bases and mineral salts and inorganic and organic salts. To learn the constituent units and functions of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.   2. Concerning the Chemical bonds. Choose the INCORRECT alternative: C) The forces that hold together the atoms of a molecule or a compound are Chemical bonds. The likelihood that an atom will form a chemical bond with another atom depends on the number of electrons in its outermost shell, also called the valence shell. An atom with a valence shell holding eight electrons is chemically stable, which means it is likely to form Chemical bonds with other atoms. All the previous alternatives are incorrect.   3. Chemistry is the science of the structure and interactions of matter. The INCORRECT alternative is: B) Mass is the amount of matter in any object, which does not change. When objects are farther from Earth, the pull of gravity is strong; this is why the weight of an astronaut is close to zero in outer space. Weight, the force of gravity acting on matter, does change. All living and nonliving things consist of matter, which is anything that occupies space and has mass.

Question

Please mark my multiple choice paper:

  1. Mark the INCORRECT alternative concerning the Introduction to Biochemistry: B)
  • To learn the main chemical elements of the human body.
  • To learn only the structures of atoms, but not of ions and molecules.
  • To learn the properties of acids, bases and mineral salts and inorganic and organic salts.
  • To learn the constituent units and functions of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.

 

2. Concerning the Chemical bonds. Choose the INCORRECT alternative: C)

  • The forces that hold together the atoms of a molecule or a compound are Chemical bonds.
  • The likelihood that an atom will form a chemical bond with another atom depends on the number of electrons in its outermost shell, also called the valence shell.
  • An atom with a valence shell holding eight electrons is chemically stable, which means it is likely to form Chemical bonds with other atoms.
  • All the previous alternatives are incorrect.

 

3. Chemistry is the science of the structure and interactions of matter. The INCORRECT alternative is: B)

  • Mass is the amount of matter in any object, which does not change.
  • When objects are farther from Earth, the pull of gravity is strong; this is why the weight of an astronaut is close to zero in outer space.
  • Weight, the force of gravity acting on matter, does change.
  • All living and nonliving things consist of matter, which is anything that occupies space and has mass.

 

4. Chemistry is the science of the structure and interactions of matter. The INCORRECT alternative is: D)

  • All living and nonliving things consist of matter, which is anything that occupies space and has mass.
  • Mass is the amount of matter in any object, which does not change.
  • Weight, the force of gravity acting on matter, does change.
  • When objects are farther from Earth, the pull of gravity is strong; this is why the weight of an astronaut is close to zero in outer space.

 

5. Structure of Atoms: each element is made up of atoms, the smallest units of matter that retain the properties and characteristics of the element. Is CORRECT to affirm that: B)

  • One subatomic particle composed of individual atoms.
  • Only three types of subatomic particles are important for understanding the chemical reactions in the human body: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The dense central core of an atom is its nucleus.
  • Within the nucleus are positively charged neutrons (p+) and uncharged (neutral) protons (no).
  • The tiny, positively charged electrons (e−) move about in a large space surrounding the nucleus.

 

6. Select the CORRECT alternative: B)

  • The atomic number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Because sodium has 11 protons and 12 neutrons, its mass number is 23.
  • The decay of a radioisotope may be as fast as a fraction of a second or as slow as millions of years. The half-life of an isotope is the time required for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample of that isotope to decay into a more stable form.
  • Isotopes are atoms of an element that have similar numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass numbers.
  • Certain isotopes called radioactive isotopes (radioisotopes) are stable; their nuclei decay (spontaneously change) into a stable configuration.
