Explanation:

34. What is the basic building block of all matter?

Atoms
Organs
Molecules
Cells
Explanation:

Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter. They combine to form molecules and substances.

35. Which state of matter has a definite shape and volume?

Liquid
Plasma
Solid
Gas
Explanation:

Solids have a definite shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed and do not move freely.

36. What happens to the particles of matter in a gas compared to a solid?

They have more space between them
They vibrate in fixed positions
They are arranged in a regular pattern
They are tightly packed
Explanation:

In a gas, particles have more space between them and move freely. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions.

37. Which instrument is used to measure the volume of a liquid?

Beaker
Ruler
Thermometer
Graduated cylinder
Explanation:

A graduated cylinder is a tool used to measure the volume of liquids accurately due to its graduated markings.

38. What happens to the volume of matter when it is heated up?

It becomes a solid
It increases
It decreases
It remains the same
Explanation:

Heating up matter causes the particles to move faster and spread out, which increases the volume of the substance.

39. Which of the following is an example of a physical change in matter?

Burning wood
Melting ice
Cooking food
Rusting iron
Explanation:

Melting ice is a physical change as it changes from a solid to a liquid state without altering its chemical composition.

40. What happens to the mass of matter when it is divided into smaller pieces?

It becomes a gas
It increases
It remains the same
It decreases
Explanation:

The mass of matter remains the same even when it is divided into smaller pieces. Mass is a constant property of matter.
