2. An atom consists of protons and neutrons in the nucleus_, and electrons in orbits.
3. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons; ions have
gained or lost electrons.
7. Covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons, while ionic bonds involve transfer.
8. Neutralization is a reaction between an acid and a base, forming salt and water.
10. Sodium (Na) reacts with chlorine (Cl) to form NaCl by losing one electron and gaining
one electron.
12. The stages of mitosis include prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
14. Asexual reproduction produces clone offspring, while sexual reproduction produces
different offspring.
15. When a cut heals, cells divide and migrate to repair the tissue.
Electromagnetism (Q16–20)
16. An electromagnet is a magnet created by passing an current through a wire.
17. Magnetic field lines go from the north pole to the south pole.
19. In a series circuit, components share one path; in a parallel circuit, they have multiple
paths.
20. According to the right-hand rule, the thumb points in the direction of current and the
fingers show electromagnetic direction.
22. On a motion graph, a flat line represents stationery motion, while a steep slope
represents higher speed.
24. If brakes are suddenly applied, inertia causes the car to continue moving forward.
27. The balanced equation for complete combustion of methane is C3H8+ 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O.
28. Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide, while incomplete combustion may
produce carbon monoxide.
29. Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
32. A producer makes its own food, while a consumer consumes others.
33. Removing a predator from a food chain can cause the prey population to increase_.
37. In solids, particles are tightly packed; in liquids, they can flow; and in gases, they move
freely.
38. Gases expand when heated because the particles move faster.
39. Evaporation happens at the boiling point of a liquid, while boiling occurs by heating the
liquid.
Metabolism (Q41–44)
41. Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions in the body.
42. Gas exchange in the lungs takes place in small air sacs called alveoli_.
44. When you skip meals, the body uses stored glucose and nutrients for energy.
46. As you move down Group 1, the reactivity of the elements increases.
50. Photosynthesis is important because it removes carbon dioxide from the air and
produces oxygen.
