Neurons are part of the __________ nervous system.
peripheral
The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.
A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?
The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{4}\) - 1\(\frac{5}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:
(\( \frac{18}{8} \) - \( \frac{13}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{5}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
You would measure the amount of voltage between two points in a circuit with a(n):
voltmeter
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. A voltmeter is used to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?
\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
In an electronic circuit, a thermocouple can be used to:
open or close a circuit at a designated temperature
A thermocouple is a temperature sensor that consists of two wires made from different conductors. The junction of these two wires produces a voltage based on the temperature difference between them and can be used like a switch to open or close the circuit at a designated temperature.
Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = {w \over t}\)
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?
nucleotides
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.
