Q:

Rank these compounds by boiling point- Pentane, Propane and Hexane.

A) Pentane > Propane > Hexane B) Propane > Pentane > Hexane
C) Hexane > Pentane > Propane D) Propane > Hexane > Pentane
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Hexane > Pentane > Propane

Explanation:

The boiling point of the compounds depend on the number of carbons in them. Hexane has 6, Pentane has 5 and Propane has 3 carbons. As Hexane is with 6 carbons it has highest boiling point and next Pentane with 5 and lowest Propane with 3.

Q:

Which one of the following elements is a transition element?

A) H B) As
C) Fe D) Sr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Fe

Explanation:

In chemistry, the term transition metal has three possible meanings: The IUPAC definition defines a transition metal as "an element whose atom has a partially filled d sub-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d sub-shell".

Any of the set of metallic elements occupying a central block (Groups IVB–VIII, IB, and IIB, or 4–12) in the periodic table, e.g. iron, manganese, chromium, and copper. Chemically they show variable valency and a strong tendency to form coordination compounds, and many of their compounds are coloured.

 

Here in the given options, only iron (Fe) is a transition metal since Strontium is an alkaline earth, arsenic is a metalloid, hydrogen is (normally) a diatomic gas.

Q:

When during the Cell Cycle are Chromosomes visible?

A) only during interphase B) only during cell division
C) only during G1 phase D) only during they are replicated
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) only during cell division

Explanation:

During most of the cell cycle, interphase, the chromosomes are somewhat less condensed and are not visible as individual objects under the light microscope. However during cell division, mitosis, the chromosomes become highly condensed and are then visible as dark distinct bodies within the nuclei of cells. The chromosomes are most easily seen and identified at the metaphase stage of cell division and most of the chromosome images in this gallery are pictures of metaphase chromomosomes.

The cell division takes place in mitosis stage.

Q:

Which statement is one component of the cell theory?

A) DNA is the basis of genetic transfer B) All living cells arise from pre-existing cells
C) All cells are composed of same organelles D) Tissues are formed from combinations of cells
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) All living cells arise from pre-existing cells

Explanation:

All living cells arise from pre-existing cells is one component of the cell theory.

 

The Cell Theory is one of the basic principles of biology.

 

The Cell Theory states:

1. All living organisms are composed of cells. They may be unicellular or multicellular.

2. The cell is the basic unit of life.

3. Cells arise from pre-existing cells.
