Q: Q: What do you call the energy that must be overcome in order for a chemical reaction to occur, or the minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Regardless of whether reactions are exothermic reactions or endothermic reactions , they all need energy to get started. This energy is called activation energy . Activation energy is like the push you need to start moving down a slide. The push gives you enough energy to start moving. Once you start, you keep moving without being pushed again. Activation energy is defined as the energy that must be overcome in order for a chemical reaction to occur, or the minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction. The concept of activation energy is illustrated in Figure below . Choices: - expression energy - phase energy - kinetic energy - activation energy A:
A: activation energy

Q: Q: The attractive force between water molecules is what kind of reaction? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The attractive force between water molecules is a dipole interaction. The hydrogen atoms are bound to the highly electronegative oxygen atom (which also possesses two lone pair sets of electrons, making for a very polar bond. The partially positive hydrogen atom of one molecule is then attracted to the oxygen atom of a nearby water molecule (see Figure below ). Choices: - symmetrical reaction - aquatic reaction - diffusion reaction - dipole reaction A:
A: dipole reaction

Q: Q: What happens to the recessive traits in the offspring of a hybridization? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Upon compiling his results for many thousands of plants, Mendel concluded that the characteristics could be divided into expressed and latent traits. He called these, respectively, dominant and recessive traits. Dominant traits are those that are inherited unchanged in a hybridization. Recessive traits become latent, or disappear, in the offspring of a hybridization. The recessive trait does, however, reappear in the progeny of the hybrid offspring. An example of a dominant trait is the violet-flower trait. For this same characteristic (flower color), white-colored flowers are a recessive trait. The fact that the recessive trait reappeared in the F2 generation meant that the traits remained separate (not blended) in the plants of the F1 generation. Mendel also proposed that plants possessed two copies of the trait for the flower-color characteristic, and that each parent transmitted one of its two copies to its offspring, where they came together. Moreover, the physical observation of a dominant trait could mean that the genetic composition of the organism included two dominant versions of the characteristic or that it included one dominant and one recessive version. Conversely, the observation of a recessive trait meant that the organism lacked any dominant versions of this characteristic. Choices: - they dominate - remain recessive - they replicate - they disappear A:
A: they disappear

Q: Q: What organ system consists of the skin, nails and hair? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The skin is the major organ of the integumentary system , which also includes the nails and hair. In fact, the skin is the body's largest organ, and a remarkable one at that. Consider these skin facts. The average square inch (6.5 cm 2 ) of skin has 20 blood vessels, 650 sweat glands, and more than a thousand nerve endings. It also has an incredible 60,000 pigment-producing cells. All of these structures are packed into a stack of cells that is just 2 mm thick, or about as thick as the cover of a book. Choices: - nervous system - digestive system - endocrine system - integumentary system A:
A: integumentary system
