Answer the following question given this paragraph: The rate at which a solute dissolves depends upon the size of the solute particles. Dissolving is a surface phenomenon since it depends on solvent molecules colliding with the outer surface of the solute. A given quantity of solute dissolves faster when it is ground into small particles than if it is in the form of a large chunk because more surface area is exposed. The packet of granulated sugar exposes far more surface area to the solvent and dissolves more quickly than the sugar cube. Q: The size of the solute particles determines the rate of what? Choices: - merging - extracting - solution - dissolving A:
dissolving

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The earth is also a conductor. Touching a charged object to the earth is called grounding . When you touch a conductor to the earth, you allow the earth to share the charge. Since the earth is billions of times bigger than the object, the earth takes nearly all of the charge. The charged object that was grounded now has zero charge. Q: What is it called when you touch a charged object to the earth? Choices: - cooling - charging - dispersion - grounding A:
grounding

Answer the following question given this paragraph: 3.1 | Synthesis of Biological Macromolecules By the end of this section, you will be able to: Understand the synthesis of macromolecules Explain dehydration (or condensation) and hydrolysis reactions As you've learned, biological macromolecules are large molecules, necessary for life, that are built from smaller organic molecules. There are four major classes of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids); each is an important cell component and performs a wide array of functions. Combined, these molecules make up the majority of a cell's dry mass (recall that water makes up the majority of its complete mass). Biological macromolecules are organic, meaning they contain carbon. In addition, they may contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and additional minor elements. Q: The four major classes of biological macromolecules include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and what else? Choices: - liquids - fats - structural acids - nucleic acids A:
nucleic acids

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The cell wall is a rigid layer that surrounds the cell membrane of a plant cell. It's made mainly of the complex carbohydrate called cellulose. The cell wall supports and protects the cell. The cell wall isn't solid like a brick wall. It has tiny holes in it called pores. The pores let water, nutrients, and other substances move into and out of the cell. Q: What rigid layer surrounds the cell membrane of a plant cell? Choices: - bark - epidermis - cuticle - cell wall A:
cell wall
