Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
composite quantities |
|
vector quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
|
scalar quantities |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:
none of these |
|
more complex |
|
less complex |
|
similarly complex |
Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.
Examples of secondary consumers include:
plankton |
|
chickens |
|
grasshoppers |
|
wolves |
Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.
gel |
|
liquid |
|
solid |
|
gas |
An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.
Examples of tertiary consumers include:
cows |
|
fish |
|
sharks |
|
chickens |
Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.
