Answer the following question given this paragraph: The halogens are among the most reactive of all elements, although reactivity declines from the top to the bottom of the halogen group. Because all halogens have seven valence electrons, they are "eager" to gain one more electron. Doing so gives them a full outer energy level, which is the most stable arrangement of electrons. Halogens often combine with alkali metals in group 1 of the periodic table. Alkali metals have just one valence electron, which they are equally "eager" to donate. Reactions involving halogens, especially halogens near the top of the group, may be explosive. You can see some examples in the video at the URL below. ( Warning: Don't try any of these reactions at home!). Q: In which order does the reactivity of halogen group decline? Choices: - bottom to top - right to left - left to right - top to bottom A:
top to bottom
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Annelids are segmented invertebrates in Phylum Annelida. They include earthworms, polychaete worms, and leeches. Annelids have a coelom and several organ systems. Their body segments may have a variety of different structures such as tentacles or suckers. Annelids may be predators, parasites, filter feeders, or decomposers. Q: What are are segmented invertebrates in phylum annelida called? Choices: - flatworms - fungi - corals - annelids A:
annelids
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 8.4 Elastic Collisions in One Dimension Let us consider various types of two-object collisions. These collisions are the easiest to analyze, and they illustrate many of the physical principles involved in collisions. The conservation of momentum principle is very useful here, and it can be used whenever the net external force on a system is zero. We start with the elastic collision of two objects moving along the same linea one-dimensional problem. An elastic collision is one that also conserves internal kinetic energy. Internal kinetic energy is the sum of the kinetic energies of the objects in the system. Figure 8.6 illustrates an elastic collision in which internal kinetic energy and momentum are conserved. Truly elastic collisions can only be achieved with subatomic particles, such as electrons striking nuclei. Macroscopic collisions can be very nearly, but not quite, elasticsome kinetic energy is always converted into other forms of energy such as heat transfer due to friction and sound. One macroscopic collision that is nearly elastic is that of two steel blocks on ice. Another nearly elastic collision is that between two carts with spring bumpers on an air track. Icy surfaces and air tracks are nearly frictionless, more readily allowing nearly elastic collisions on them. Elastic Collision An elastic collision is one that conserves internal kinetic energy. Internal Kinetic Energy Internal kinetic energy is the sum of the kinetic energies of the objects in the system. Q: An elastic collision is one that conserves internal energy of what type? Choices: - thermal - seismic - potential - kinetic A:
A: kinetic
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What's the name for the process where pollen is transferred to the ovules of a seed plant? Choices: - combination - condensation - hibernation - pollination A:
Answer: pollination
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: After hatching, most arthropods go through one or more larval stages before reaching adulthood. The larvae may look very different from the adults. They change into the adult form in a process called metamorphosis. During metamorphosis, the arthropod is called a pupa. It may or may not spend this stage inside a special container called a cocoon. A familiar example of arthropod metamorphosis is the transformation of a caterpillar (larva) into a butterfly (adult) (see Figure below ). Distinctive life stages and metamorphosis are highly adaptive. They allow functions to be divided among different life stages. Each life stage can evolve adaptations to suit it for its specific functions without affecting the adaptations of the other stages. Q: What is the process of larva becoming an adult called? Choices: - parthenogenesis - synthesis - evolution - metamorphosis A:
**Answer**
metamorphosis
