Metabolism (from Greek: μεταβολή metabolē, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of organisms. The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular processes, the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes.

Q:

At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and celcius scales give the same reading?

A) 212 degrees B) 32 degreees
C) -40 degreees D) 0 degreees
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) -40 degreees

Explanation:

We want the temperature when F=C.

We know that, F = C x 95 + 32

So substituting C For F, we have C = -40o

Therefore,  C = -40. 

Thus when C = -40, we have C = F

Q:

When Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to

A) share electrons B) gain electrons
C) lose electrons D) None of above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) lose electrons

Explanation:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

 

Hence, when Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to lose electrons and become positive ions
