1.0/ 1.0 Points
Question 3 of 10
Normal (homeostatic) pH level of blood serum’s pH is around 7.4. Carbonic acid is released in
the blood to help maintain a pH when the blood has high hydroxyl levels. This would cause pH
to change from
A. basic to acidic
B. basic to neutral
C. neutral to basic
D. acidic to 7.4
E.basic to 7.4
Feedback: Learning Objective: Discuss the role of acids, bases, and buffers in homeostasis.

C.25%
D.12.5%
, Feedback: Learning Objective: Define matter and elements
1.0/ 1.0 Points
Question 5 of 10
Carbon represents less than 1% of the Earth’s crust, but is 18% of the composition of living
things. Why?
A.Living organisms sequester carbon to lower its toxicity to their
cells. B.Cytoplasm is composed largely of a liquid form of carbon.
C.Cell membranes are composed of layers of graphite.
D.The unique bonding properties of carbon allow it to create a huge variety of biological
molecules.
E.
This is a measure of waste gases like CO2 and CH4.
Feedback: Learning Objective: Analyze the structure of an atom, how the isotopes of an
element differ, and how atoms combine to form molecules and larger structures
1.0/ 1.0 Points
Question 6 of 10

corroded by acid. What substance can be used to clean the acid?
A. orange juice
B.baking soda
C.urine
D.black coffee
E.lemons
Feedback: Learning Objective: Discuss the role of acids, bases, and buffers in homeostasis
1.0/ 1.0 Points
Question 7 of 10
Why does water boil at a higher temperature than butter, which is nonpolar?
A.breaking of hydrogen bonds requires a lot of energy
B. removing hydrogen from the liquid requires a lot of enegy
C. energy is used to cool the water as it undergoes from liquid to gas
D. energy is consumed to form hydrogen bond
