The formula for acceleration is which of the following?
\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\) |
Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass. The formula for acceleration is \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force, \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
Within DNA, a variety of a particular gene is called a(n):
allele |
|
homozygous |
|
chromosome |
|
heterozygous |
The gene is the base unit of inheritance and is contained within DNA. A gene may come in several varieties (alleles) and there are a pair of alleles for every gene. If the alleles are alike, a person is homozygous for that gene. If the alleles are different, heterozygous.
pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:
alkaline |
|
acidic |
|
neutral |
|
water |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?
0K |
|
32°F |
|
absolute zero |
|
-273°C |
Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.
Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
AB |
|
O |
|
O-positive |
|
O-negative |
Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
