Answer : 4. "it is either homogenous or heterogenous"
Explanation :
Answer: D) it is either homogenous or heterogenous Explanation: A mixture is the blending of two or more dissimilar substances. Characteristics of a Mixture: 1. It has No formula. 2. It is an impure sustance 3. They can be mixed in any ratio. 4. The properties of the mixture are the properties of its constituents. 5. Constituents can e easily seperated by physical methods.eg: Heating, Drying, Crystallization, Distillation etc... 6. It is either homogenous or heterogenous. A major characteristic of mixtures is that the materials do not chemically combine. Mixtures can be divided into those that are evenly distributed (homogeneous) and those that aren't (heterogeneous).

Answer : 3. "the chemical properties of their R groups"
Explanation :
Answer: C) the chemical properties of their R groups Explanation: Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid. Depending on the nature of the side chain groups, three classes of aminoacids can e distinguished: 1. Amino acids with H ond donor and acceptor groups. Histidine, lysine, aspartic acid, threonine,... 2. Amino acids with donor grups only. Arginine, tryptophan and cysteine. 3. Amino acids with acceptor groups only. Asparagine and glutamine.

Answer : 1. "Caricaxanthin"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Caricaxanthin Explanation: Papayas are yellow due to the presence of carotene and xanthophyll pigments i.e, Caricaxanthin present in the chromoplasts of the fruit pulp. The coloration of the different tissues in plants is due to the plastids which are present in the cells. Leucoplasts are white in colour, chloroplasts are green in colour and chromoplasts are of various colours. These plastids can take any colour at different time. Therefore, green fruits ( chloroplasts) turn colurful (chromoplasts) at maturity.

Answer : 3. "lose electrons"
Explanation :
Answer: C) lose electrons Explanation: Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion. Hence, when Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to lose electrons and become positive ions

Answer : 2. "1243"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1243 Explanation: Given number sequence is 28, 16, 28, 76, 274 Here the sequence follows a pattern that 28 28 x 0.5 + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16 16 x 1.5 + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28 28 x 2.5 + 6 = 70 + 6 = 76 76 x 3.5 + 8 = 266 + 8 = 274 274 x 4.5 + 10 = 1233 + 10 = 1243 Hence, the next number in the given number sequence is 1243.
