Each of the following is an example of an inorganic compound, except
The correct answer is acids
Reason: acids are inorganic as well as organic. For example citric acid is an organic acid. Whereas hydrochloric acid is an inorganic acid.
Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins are classified as
The correct answer is organic molecules
Reason: Carbohydrates are organic Molecules because they are made up of carbon.
Which of the following substances would be most acidic?
The correct answer is stomach secretions, pH = 1
Reason: The lower the pH, the more acid. The pH 1 represents highly acid solution.
A(n) ________ removes hydrogen ions and a(n) ________ releases hydrogen ions
The correct answer is base; acid
Because water has a high heat of vaporization it
The correct answer is provides an excellent cooling mechanism
If a substance has a pH that is greater than 7, it is
The correct answer is alkaline
Reason: pH below 7 is acidic, above 7 is alkaline and pH of 7 is considered as neutral.
The primary high energy molecule formed and used in the cell is
The correct answer is ATP.
Reason: The ATP is called the energy currency of the cell. It provides most of the energy to the cell.
Hydrophilic molecules readily associate with
The correct answer is water molecules
Reason: Hydro means water and philic means loving. Hence hydrophilic molecules associate closely with water.
All of the following are true concerning enzymes, except that they
The correct answer is - are consumed during the reaction
Reason: Enzymes increases the rate of reaction and they will not be used up in the reaction.
Which of the following statements about water is not correct?
The correct answer is - has a relatively low heat capacity
Reason: Water has high heat capacity. This allows the water to show anamolous expansion. This favors the aquatic animals to survive in a frozen sea or ocean.
