What are the 3 particles that make-up the atom?

protons, neutrons, and electrons

protons, neutrons, and isotopes

neutrons, isotopes, and electrons

positives, negatives, and electrons

atoms with a positive or negative charge

atoms with ONLY a positive charge

atoms with ONLY a negative charge

Why can water have no net charge but have slight charges in different parts of the molecule?

The oxygen end is slightly negative and the hydrogen end is slightly positive

The hydrogen end is slightly negative and the oxygen end is slightly positive

The hydrogen and oxygen ends change in polarity

As water freezes, it expands and its density decreases.

As water freezes, it takes up more hydrogen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.

As water freezes, air becomes trapped between the hydrogen bonds of water molecules.

As water freezes, it takes up more oxygen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.

Which end of the water molecule has a slightly positive charge?

both ends are slightly positive

The reason the water balloon did NOT pop while held over a flame is water's _________.

Hydrogen bonds between water molecules.

What is the reason why oil and water don't mix?

Water can only mix with polar molecules

Oil is too heavy to mix with water

Water can only mix with non-polar molecules

Oil is too light to mix with water

Because of the unique properties of water associated with hydrogen bonding, water evaporates from pores on the leaves of plants and draws molecules in a continuous chain from the roots up through the vascular tissues of plants. Which of these groups of terms describes the properties of water that explain this?

cohesion, adhesion, and transpiration

adhesion, cohesion, and translocation

adhesion, cohesion, and transcription

cohesion, hybridization, and transpiration

Organisms use carbohydrates for

About this resource

This quiz covers atomic structure, chemical bonding, water properties, and biological macromolecules, making it appropriate for grade 11-12 AP Biology students. The questions progress systematically through fundamental chemistry concepts that underpin biological systems, starting with subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons) and atomic structure, then advancing to chemical bonding types (ionic, covalent, van der Waals forces), and the formation of compounds and molecules. Students need to understand how atomic structure determines chemical behavior, how different types of chemical bonds form and function, and why water's polar nature gives it unique properties essential for life. The final section requires knowledge of biological macromolecules, specifically how monomers combine to form polymers, the structure and function of carbohydrates and lipids, and how molecular structure determines properties like solubility and energy storage capacity. Created by Sarah Fahmie, a Biology teacher in the US who teaches grades 10-12. This comprehensive review quiz serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a chapter review before assessments, homework to reinforce classroom learning, or formative assessment to identify areas needing additional instruction. The question format makes it ideal for independent study sessions where students can self-assess their understanding of these foundational concepts before tackling more complex biological processes. Teachers can use this as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before introducing new topics that build on these chemical principles, or as targeted practice for students who need additional support with the chemistry foundations essential for success in advanced biology. The content aligns with AP Biology standards focusing on the chemical basis of life, including Big Ideas 2 and 4, which emphasize how biological systems utilize free energy and biological systems interact through molecular recognition.
