Q:

All cells divide at the same rate.

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

The given statement that all cells divide at the same rate is FALSE.


 


No, all cells do not divide at the same rate. Cells that require frequent replenishing, such as skin or intestinal cells, may only take roughly twelve hours to complete a cell cycle. Other cells, such as liver cells, remain in a resting state (interphase) for up to a year before undergoing division.

Q:

How many amino acids are found in living organisms?

A) 1500 B) 3000
C) 20 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20

Explanation:

Amino acids are a crucial, yet basic unit of protein, and they contain an amino group and a carboxylic group. They play an extensive role in gene expression processes.

 

Amino acids become proteins when 50 or more are bonded together in a chain. All the millions of different proteins in living things are formed by the bonding of only 20 amino acids.

 

Eight of these amino acids are essential and cannot be produced by the body.

They are:

• Leucine

• Isoleucine

• Lysine

• Threonine

• Methionine

• Phenylalanine

• Valine

• Tryptophan

•  Histidine is an amino acid that is categorized as semi-essential since the human body doesn't always need it to properly function

 

Nonessential amino acids are produced by the human body either from essential amino acids or from normal protein breakdowns. Nonessential amino acids include:

• Asparagine

• Alanine

• Arginine

• Aspartic acid

• Cysteine

• Glutamic acid

• Glutamine

• Proline

• Glycine

• Tyrosine

• Serine.

Q:

Is deposition endothermic or exothermic?

A) Endothermic B) Exothermic
C) Both A & B D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Exothermic

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, deposition is a phase transition in which gases are directly transformed to solids without converting to liquids first.

 

For example, watervapour is directly changed to ice without first becoming to liquid water. In this process, heat is released making the process exothermic process.

Q:

Which of the following chemical compounds has the highest boiling point?

A) Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) B) Methanol (CH3OH)
C) Methane (CH4) D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Methanol (CH3OH)

Explanation:

Chemical Compounds with stronger intermolecular forces have higher boiling points.

 

The order of strengths of intermolecular forces is:

 London dispersion < dipole-dipole < H-bonding

 

Methane (CH4) — London dispersion forces

Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) — dipole-dipole attractions

Methanol (CH3OH) — hydrogen bonding

Therefore, Methanol - CH3OH with H-Bonding have highest Boiling Point among the given chemical compounds.
