Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?
species
The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?
The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -2. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -6) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-6.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:
y = -2x - 2
When using a hacksaw, blades with __________ teeth are more appropriate for cutting thinner materials.
more
A hacksaw has replaceable blades and is used to cut metal. The blade type is chosen based on the material that is to be cut. Blades with larger numbers of teeth per inch are more appropriate for cutting thinner materials.
Examples of primary consumers include:
cows
Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus. Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.
The force required to initally get an object moving is __________ the force required to keep it moving.
higher than
For any given surface, the coefficient of static friction is higher than the coefficient of kinetic friction. More force is required to initally get an object moving than is required to keep it moving. Additionally, static friction only arises in response to an attempt to move an object (overcome the normal force between it and the surface).
The formula specifying Ohm's law is which of the following?
V = IR
Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
What kind of diode allows current to flow in the opposite direction once a certain voltage threshold is reached?
zener diode
A diode allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction. A zener diode is a diode which allows current to flow in one direction as normal and will also allow current flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value. This value is called the breakdown voltage.
In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?
lactic acid or alcohol
If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
What is 7a + 6a?
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
7a + 6a = 13a
