Q:

Which of the following equations represents Photosynthesis?

A) 6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 B) C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> CO2 + 6H2O
C) CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 D) 6O2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6CO2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms activities.

 

Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.

 

The overall balanced equation is

 

              6CO2 +  6H2O   Sunlight    C6H12O6   +   6O2Source of Carbon & Oxygen  + Source of Electrons & Hydrogen + Energy that drives Photosynthesis             ----> Sugar + Gas produced by splitting water.

 

Where 

CO2 = carbon dioxide 

H2O = water

C6H12O6 = glucose 

O2 = oxygen.

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.

Q:

Which structure is not part of the Endomembrane System?

A) Chloroplast B) Plasma membrane
C) Nuclear envelope D) Golgi apparatus
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Chloroplast

Explanation:

The endomembrane system is composed of the different membranes that are suspended in the cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell. These membranes divide the cell into functional and structural compartments or organelles. In eukaryotes, the organelles of the endomembrane system include the nuclear membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vesicles, endosomes and the cell membrane, among others.
