Lithium has an atomic number of 3 and a mass number of 7. Which of the following is the number of protons in a lithium atom?

A. 12

B. 3

C. 4

D. 7

Answer Explanation:

The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In this case, lithium has an atomic number of 3, so it contains 3 protons.

The other choices (A, C, and D) do not represent the correct number of protons for a lithium atom.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

  • Q #1: Which of the following is a group that can be measured against the experimental group?

    A. Manipulated

    B. Responding

    C. Variable

    D. Control

    Answer Explanation

    The experimental group is the group that receives the treatment or intervention in a scientific study. To evaluate the effect of the treatment, the experimental group is compared to another group that does not receive the treatment. This group is called the control group. The control group serves as a baseline or reference point for the experimental group. The control group should be as similar as possible to the experimental group in all other aspects, except for the treatment

  • Q #2: Which of the following organic molecules contain both an amine and carboxyl group?

    A. Lipids

    B. Proteins

    C. Chitin

    D. Cellulose

    Answer Explanation

    An amine group is a nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, and a carboxyl group is a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group. These groups are important for the formation of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.

  • Q #3:   The measurement indicated by the line across the center of the cell is best referred to as which of the following?

    A. Diameter

    B. Volume

    C. Area

    D. Radius

    Answer Explanation

    One way to assess the size of a cell is to measure its diameter, which is the length of a straight line that passes through the center of the cell and touches both sides. The measurement indicated by the line across the center of the cell in the diagram is best referred to as the diameter of the cell.
