Which of the following is not part of the carbon cycle?
precipitation |
|
decomposition |
|
photosynthesis |
|
respiration |
The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.
When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?
stationary |
|
warm |
|
cold |
|
occluded |
When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.
In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:
chromatids |
|
chromosomes |
|
cells |
|
nuclei |
During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.
Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.
positive, antigen |
|
positive, negative |
|
negative, positive |
|
antigen, 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.
The formula for acceleration is which of the following?
\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) |
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, \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
