Quiz 7: WS8.2 answers

Fill in the Blanks (10 marks)

1      In some materials, there are electrons which are free to move (1) randomly in all directions. These electrons are called (2) free electrons.

2      The free electrons in a metal wire are ‘driven’ to flow in the (3) same direction when there is a dry cell in the circuit.

3      The free electrons flow from the (4) negative pole of the dry cell to the (5) positive pole. The flow of these free electrons forms an (6) electric current.            

4      An (7) ammeter is an instrument used for measuring the size of an electric current.

5      Electric current is measured in (8) ampere (A). Small electric currents are measured in milliamperes (mA).

俄漢自創「升級版冰桶挑戰」　-195°C液體照頭淋

「冰桶挑戰」早前瘋靡全球，挑戰者以冰水淋頭，為ALS(肌肉萎縮性脊髓側索硬化症)患者籌款。俄羅斯科學家科諾瓦洛夫(Anton Konovalov)，近日則自創「升級版冰桶挑戰」，用攝氏零下195度的液態氮氣淋遍全身，惟他事後竟神態自若，身體亦絲毫無損。

科諾瓦洛夫拍下挑戰過程，並上傳到互聯網。片段可見，他先將一片葉子放進冰桶內，再拿出來在手上撕成碎片，以證明桶中的液氮冷得能夠冰封樹葉。他其後將桶子舉起照頭淋，身旁友人更上前戳他的皮膚，證明他身體仍然正常。

科諾瓦洛夫之所以沒有受影響，是有科學根據。根據萊頓弗羅斯現象(Leidenfrost effect)，當液體遇到極度炎熱的表面時，表面會形成一層絕緣的蒸氣防護層。因此當液氮淋在科諾瓦洛夫身上時，液態氮只會從皮膚表層掠過，而不會造成傷害。

B

(a)

Tube	Does respiration take place? (ü / û)	Does photosynthesis take place? (ü / û)	Colour of the indicator	The level of carbon dioxide (unchanged / increase / decrease)
A	ü	ü	red	unchanged
B	ü	ü	purple	decrease
C	û	û	red	unchanged
D	ü	û	yellow	increase
E	ü	û	yellow	increase
F	ü	û	yellow	increase
G	û	û	red	unchanged
H	ü	û	yellow	increase

(b)    In the dark, the plant does not undergo photosynthesis. However, both the plant and snail carry out respiration which gives out carbon dioxide. Therefore, the level of carbon dioxide increases and the indicator changes from red to yellow.

(c)    Under bright light, there is a net intake of carbon dioxide in plants. In the dark, there is a net release of carbon dioxide in plants.
