Question:
In the process of cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen undergo chemical reactions to form new molecules. Select the correct sequence of events that describe how food is rearranged through these reactions to support the growth and release energy in an organism.
Answer Choices:
- A) Glucose and oxygen react to form carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.
- B) Glucose is broken down into oxygen, which combines with carbon dioxide to form ATP.
- C) Oxygen is converted into glucose and water, releasing carbon dioxide and energy.
- D) Carbon dioxide and water are rearranged to form glucose, releasing energy.
💡 Explanation:
- In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are the reactants that undergo chemical reactions in the mitochondria of cells.
- These reactions form carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which provides energy for cellular processes and supports growth.

Question:
A group of students conducted an experiment to investigate the factors affecting the strength of an electromagnet. They used a battery, wires, and a nail to create their electromagnet. After wrapping different numbers of wire coils around the nail and changing the battery voltage, they recorded the strength of the magnet by measuring how many paperclips it could lift. Based on this experiment, which question would best help them determine which factor most significantly affects the strength of the electromagnet?
Answer Choices:
- A) A) How does the thickness of the wire affect the strength of the electromagnet?
- B) B) What is the effect of changing the battery voltage on the strength of the electromagnet?
- C) C) How does the number of paperclips lifted correlate with the number of wire coils?
- D) D) What happens to the strength of the electromagnet if we use a larger nail?
- E) E) How does changing the battery voltage and the number of coils simultaneously affect the electromagnet's strength?
💡 Explanation:
- The question that asks about the simultaneous change in both the battery voltage and the number of coils will allow the students to determine which combination most significantly affects the strength.
- This approach considers the interaction between multiple variables, providing a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting the electromagnet's strength.
