Which of the following is sedimentary rock?
slate |
|
obsidian |
|
basalt |
|
sandstone |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?
conduction |
|
radiation |
|
reflection |
|
convection |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
Which of these is not a phase in cell division?
anaphase |
|
cytokinesis |
|
megaphase |
|
interphase |
Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?
isotopes |
|
products |
|
ions |
|
reactants |
The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.
Which of the following represents the largest value?
1 ML |
|
1 cL |
|
1 mL |
|
1 kL |
Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
