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

Cells
Atoms
Molecules
Organs
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?

Plasma
Liquid
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 are tightly packed
They have more space between them
They vibrate in fixed positions
They are arranged in a regular pattern
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 decreases
It increases
It remains the same
It becomes a solid
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?

Cooking food
Rusting iron
Burning wood
Melting ice
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 decreases
It remains the same
It becomes a gas
It increases
Explanation:

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