Nitrogen gas is an extremely stable molecule because its structure contains which of the following?

A. lonic bonds

B. Triple covalent bonds

C. Resonance bonds

D. Hydrogen bonds

Answer Explanation:

Triple covalent bonds. Nitrogen gas consists of two nitrogen atoms that share three pairs of electrons, forming a triple bond. This bond is very strong and requires a lot of energy to break. Ionic bonds, resonance bonds, and hydrogen bonds are weaker types of bonds that do not occur in nitrogen gas.

 

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

  • Q #1: In a certain plant, red flowers are dominant over white flowers. A plant heterozygous for red flowers and a plant with white flowers are crossed. Which of the following is the expected proportion of phenotypes in the next generation?

    A. 1 red, 3 white

    B. 4 red, 0 white

    C. 2 red, 2 white

    D. 3 red, 1 white

    Answer Explanation

    The law of segregation states that each individual has two alleles for each trait, and these alleles separate during gamete formation. The allele that each gamete receives is random. Therefore, the probability of getting a certain genotype or phenotype depends on the Punnett square. In this case, the plant heterozygous for red flowers has the genotype Rr, where R is the dominant allele for red flowers and r is the recessive allele for white flowers. The plant with white flowers has the genotype rr. half of the offspring will have the genotype Rr and half will have the genotype rr. Since R is dominant over r, the offspring with Rr will have red flowers and the offspring with rr will have white flowers. Therefore, the expected proportion of phenotypes in the next generation is 2 red, 2 white. 

  • Q #2: Which of the following are the two major parts of the nervous system?

    A. Autonomic nervous system and central nervous system

    B. Peripheral nervous system and central nervous system

    C. Peripheral nervous system and somatic nervous system

    D. Autonomic nervous system and somatic nervous system

    Answer Explanation

    The nervous system is divided into two major parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS consists of all the nerves outside of the CNS.

  • Q #3: Which of the following is the process in which an ovarian follicle matures and releases a reproductive egg?

    A. Oogenesis

    B. Ovulation

    C. Menstruation

    D. Fertilization

    Answer Explanation

    The process in which an ovarian follicle matures and releases a reproductive egg is called ovulation. Ovulation is one of the phases of the menstrual cycle, which also includes follicular phase, luteal phase and menstruation
