2. The element responsible for the red color of blood is:

• A. Magnesium
• B. Iron
• C. Copper
• D. Zinc

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in red blood cells, contains iron in its heme group, contributing to the blood's characteristic red color.

3. In the reaction 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3, what is the mole ratio of aluminum to oxygen?

• A. 4:3
• B. 2:3
• C. 3:2
• D. 3:4

Correct answer: a

Rationale: The coefficients in the balanced equation represent the mole ratio, which is 4 moles of Al to 3 moles of O2.

4. Which property of a substance describes how much matter is packed into a given space?

• A. Mass
• B. Volume
• C. Weight
• D. Density

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Density is the property of a substance that describes how much matter is packed into a given space. It is calculated by dividing the mass of the substance by its volume. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, volume is the amount of space an object occupies, and weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Density specifically relates to how tightly packed the particles of a substance are.

5. What is the shape of the DNA molecule?

• A. Linear
• B. Circular
• C. Double helix
• D. Straight chain

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The shape of the DNA molecule is a double helix. This structure was first described by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. The double helix shape consists of two strands that are twisted around each other in a spiral. This shape allows DNA to be compactly stored within the cell nucleus and provides stability to the molecule. The other options (A) Linear, (B) Circular, and (D) Straight chain do not accurately describe the shape of the DNA molecule.

6. Which of the following is an example of a chemical change?

• A. Dissolving sugar in water
• B. Boiling water
• C. Rusting iron
• D. Crushing ice

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rusting is a chemical reaction where iron reacts with oxygen and water to form iron oxide (rust).
