Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Relationship between Lattice Energies and Physical Properties The magnitude of the forces that hold an ionic substance together has a dramatic effect on many of its properties. The melting point, for example, is the temperature at which the individual ions have enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces that hold them in place. At the melting point, the ions can move freely, and the substance becomes a liquid. Thus melting points vary with lattice energies for ionic substances that have similar structures. The melting points of the sodium halides (Figure 8.3 "A Plot of Melting Point versus the Identity of the Halide for the Sodium Halides"), for example, decrease smoothly from NaF to NaI, following the same trend as seen for their lattice energies (Figure 8.2 "A Plot of Lattice Energy versus the Identity of the Halide for the Lithium, Sodium, and Potassium Halides"). Similarly, the melting point of MgO is 2825C, compared with 996C for NaF, reflecting the higher lattice energies associated with higher charges on the ions. In fact, because of its high melting point, MgO is used as an electrical insulator in heating elements for electric stoves. Figure 8.3 A Plot of Melting Point versus the Identity of the Halide for the Sodium Halides. Q: The temperature at which the individual ions have enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces that hold them in place is called? Choices: - occurring point - boiling point - last point - melting point A:
melting point

Answer the following question given this paragraph: If you look at the map pictured below, you will see that the lithosphere is divided into plates ( Figure below ). There are a dozen major and several minor plates. Each plate is named for the continent or ocean basin it contains. Some plates are made of all oceanic lithosphere. A few are all continental lithosphere. But most plates are made of a combination of both. Notice the locations where the most earthquake epicenters are found. Q: Most plates are made up of a combination of what? Choices: - oceanic and reflective lithosphere - continental and battered lithosphere - continental and reflective lithosphere - continental and oceanic lithosphere A:
(Answer)
continental and oceanic lithosphere

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Proteins Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective; they may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Each cell in a living system may contain thousands of different proteins, each with a unique function. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, polymers of amino acids, arranged in a linear sequence. The functions of proteins are very diverse because there are 20 different chemically distinct amino acids that form long chains, and the amino acids can be in any order. For example, proteins can function as enzymes or hormones. Enzymes, which are produced by living cells, are catalysts in biochemical reactions (like digestion) and are usually proteins. Each enzyme is specific for the substrate (a reactant that binds to an enzyme) upon which it acts. Enzymes can function to break molecular bonds, to rearrange bonds, or to form new bonds. An example of an enzyme is salivary amylase, which breaks down amylose, a component of starch. Hormones are chemical signaling molecules, usually proteins or steroids, secreted by an endocrine gland or group of endocrine cells that act to control or regulate specific physiological processes, including growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction. For example, insulin is a protein hormone that maintains blood glucose levels. Proteins have different shapes and molecular weights; some proteins are globular in shape whereas others are fibrous in nature. For example, hemoglobin is a globular protein, but collagen, found in our skin, is a fibrous protein. Protein shape is critical to its function. Changes in temperature, pH, and exposure to chemicals may lead to permanent changes in the shape. Q: What are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules? Choices: - carbons - acids - cells - proteins A:
(A).
proteins
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Mating refers to the union of a male and female of the same species for reproduction. The relationship between mates varies by species. Adults may have many mates, or they may mate with just one individual. Mates may stay together only while mating. Or they may stay together for an entire breeding season or even for life. Q: What refers to the union of a male and female of the same species for reproduction? Choices: - asexual reproduction - dating - behavior - mating A:

Ans:mating
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Light with the longest wavelengths is called infrared light . The term infrared means "below red. " Infrared light is the range of light waves that have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than red light in the visible range of light waves. The sun gives off infrared light as do flames and living things. You can't see infrared light waves, but you can feel them as heat. But infrared cameras and night vision goggles can detect infrared light waves and convert them to visible images. For a deeper understanding of infrared light, watch the video at this URL: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=2--0q0XlQJ0 . Q: Light with the longest wavelengths is called what? Choices: - visible light - X-rays - UV light - infrared light A:

Ans:
infrared light
