3. Van der Waals interaction is a bond formed by ____
i. Polar positively charged and polar negatively charged atoms
ii. Polar positively charged and non-polar negatively charge atoms
iii. Non-polar positively charged and non-polar negatively charge atoms
iv. Positively charged and negatively charge atoms
v. Non-polar positively charge and negatively charged atoms
Answer:
● Non-polar positively charged and non-polar negatively charge atoms
(Van der Waals interactions: Non-polar covalent bonds may have positively and negatively charged regions
where very weak bonds can be formed when the atoms and molecules are very close together.)
4. Chitin is an example of a _____
i. Polypeptide
ii. Polysaccharide
iii. Fat
iv. Nucleic acid

appendages in its glucose monomer. Functions: The exoskeleton of arthropods, (insects, spiders ,
,crustaceans and related animals is composed of chitin. In fungi, it is used as the building material for their
cell walls.)

Answer:
● It is a solution with a balanced water and solutes concentration.
11. Which statement best describes chemical work?
i. The beating of cilia, contraction of muscles.
ii. Movement of chromosomes during cellular reproduction.

monomers.
v. The diffusion of substances across the selective permeable membrane
Answer:
● The pushing driving of endergonic reactions, such as the synthesis of polymers from monomers.
