A. carbon B. chlorine C. iron D. zinc 2. Which of the following represents a compound whose atoms contain a double bond? a. NH2 c. Cl-Cl b. O=O d. H-H 3. Some bacteria live in hot springs. Their cells contain enzymes that function best at temperatures of 70°C. At a temperature of 95°C, how will the enzymes in these bacterial cells most likely be affected? A. The enzymes will be destroyed by lysosomes. B. The enzymes will lose their shape be unable to function. C. The enzymes will require less energy to function than at 70°C. D. The enzymes will not increase the rate of reactions as much as they would at 70°C. 4. When hydrogen and oxygen combine and form water [H2 + O H2O], how many atoms of each reaction does the product have: a. Two hydrogen atoms and two c. One hydrogen atom and one oxygen atoms oxygen atom b. One hydrogen atom and two d. Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atoms oxygen atom 5. A scientist is analyzing a sample of tissue from a plant. Which of the following elements will be most abundant in the sample? A. zinc and copper B. sodium and chlorine C. carbon and hydrogen D. magnesium and calcium 6. Resistance to antibiotics results from variations in the genes of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Which type of macromolecule stores genetic information in Streptococcus pneumoniae? A. carbohydrate B. fatty acid C. nucleic acid D. protein 7. Students digging near their school unearthed four objects. One of the objects was part of the exoskeleton of an insect. The table below shows the elements that make up the objects. Object Chemical Composition W chlorine, sodium X oxygen, silicon Y carbon, hydrogen, oxygen Z aluminum, silicon, oxygen, hydrogen Based on the chemical analysis, which object is most likely from the exoskeleton? A. object W B. object X C. object Y D. object Z 8. A student is preparing to run in a school track competition.
