Subtract the atomic # (# on the periodic table) from the average atomic mass (# on
bottom of element)
Example: For Bromine (Br), subtract its atomic number (35) from its average atomic
mass (79.9) to acquire the average number of neutrons (44.9). correct answers How do
you determine the average number of neutrons in one atom of an element?
, The number of protons is the same for every atom of a given element and is the
element's atomic number.
Example: For Zinc (Zn), there are 30 protons. correct answers How do you determine
the number of protons in on atom of a given element?
b. diffusion correct answers What is the name of the process in the lungs by which
oxygen is transported from the air to the blood?
a. osmosis
b. diffusion
c. dissipation
d. reverse osmosis
a. The parathyroid glands correct answers Which gland is responsible for the regulation
of calcium levels?
a. The parathyroid glands
b. The thyroid glands
c. The adrenal glands
d. The pancreas
a. The large intestine correct answers Which section of the digestive system is
responsible for water reabsorption?
a. The large intestine
b. The duodenum
c. The small intestine
d. The gallbladder
b. The independent variable correct answers In your garden, you noticed that the
tomato plants did better on the north side of your house than the west side and you
decided to figure out why. They are both planted with the same soil that provides
adequate nutrients to the plant, and they are watered at the same time during the week.
Over the course of a week, you begin to measure the amount of sunlight that hits each
side of the house and determine that the north side gets more light because the sunlight
is blocked by the house's shadow on the west side. What is the name of the factor in
your observations that affected the tomato plants growth?
a. The control
b. The independent variable
c. The dependent variable
d. The conclusion
b. Blocking pathogens that cause disease correct answers Which of the following
describes one responsibility of the integumentary system?
a. Distributing vital substances (such as nutrients) throughout the body
b. Blocking pathogens that cause disease
c. Sending leaked fluids from cardiovascular system back to the blood vessels
d. Storing bodily hormones that influence gender traits
