- A.
Solvent
- B.
Solute
- C.
Solution
- D.
Suspension
Correct Answer
B. SoluteExplanation
In a solution, the solute is present in a "lesser" amount and is "dissolved" by the greater amount of substance called the solvent. The solute is the substance that is being dissolved, while the solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. Together, they form a solution. In this case, the sugar would be the solute and the water would be the solvent.Rate this question:

What is a very "well-mixed" mixture, having the "same" properties throughout? * If each container of substance is poured through a coffee filter, no particles would be left behind because it is well-mixed.
- A.
Suspension
- B.
Solution
- C.
Mixture
- D.
Solubility
Correct Answer
B. SolutionExplanation
A solution is a very "well-mixed" mixture that has the "same" properties throughout. When each container of substance is poured through a coffee filter, no particles would be left behind because it is well-mixed. A solution is formed when a solute is dissolved in a solvent, resulting in a homogeneous mixture where the solute particles are evenly distributed at a molecular level. This uniform distribution of particles ensures that the solution has the same properties, such as color, taste, and composition, throughout.Rate this question:

What is a mixture in which "particles can be seen" and "easily separated" by settling or filteration? *Particles would be left behind if the substance is poured into a coffee filter. Particles also settle out in the globe.
- A.
Solution
- B.
Colloid
- C.
Suspension
- D.
Solute
Correct Answer
C. SuspensionExplanation
A suspension is a mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by settling or filtration. In this type of mixture, if the substance is poured into a coffee filter, the particles would be left behind, indicating that they are not dissolved. Additionally, particles in a suspension also settle out over time, forming a layer at the bottom of the container. Therefore, a suspension fits the description given in the question.Rate this question:

What is a mixture with "small undissolved particles" that do not" settle out? Examples: fog, shaving cream, whipped topping
- A.
Colloid
- B.
Suspension
- C.
Solution
- D.
Supersaturated solution
Correct Answer
A. ColloidExplanation
A colloid is a mixture that contains small undissolved particles that do not settle out. Examples of colloids include fog, shaving cream, and whipped topping. In a colloid, the particles are dispersed throughout the mixture and are not soluble in the solvent. This is different from a suspension, where the particles are larger and will eventually settle out, and a solution, where the particles are completely dissolved and evenly distributed. A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more solute than it can normally hold, but it is not relevant to the given question.Rate this question:

What process changes "large" food molecules into "smaller" food molecules?
- A.
Chemical digestion
- B.
Mechanical digestion
- C.
Digestion
- D.
Neutralization
Correct Answer
A. Chemical digestionExplanation
Chemical digestion is the process that changes "large" food molecules into "smaller" food molecules. This process involves the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones through the use of enzymes and other chemicals. It occurs primarily in the stomach and small intestine, where enzymes break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. Mechanical digestion, on the other hand, involves the physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces, but it does not change the chemical composition of the food molecules. Digestion is a broader term that encompasses both mechanical and chemical processes. Neutralization is unrelated to the process of breaking down food molecules.Rate this question:
