___D__ 05. The atmosphere is made up of different gases. Which gas, present in very small percentage, do plants use?
A. Argon B. Oxygen C. Nitrogen D. Carbon dioxide
__C___ 06. Which of the following statements describes the pressure of a gas in a container?
A. The volume of the gas in the container. B. The number of gas particles in a container
C. The force exerted by the gas particles in the container D. The value of pressure is 760 mmHg
__B___ 07. An air pump is used to bring back the original shape of a bicycle tire. What will happen to the volume of
attire when air is added to it?
