Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
none of these |
|
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
bronchioles |
|
trachea |
|
diaphragm |
|
pulmonary |
The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.
The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:
lithosphere |
|
atmosphere |
|
hydrosphere |
|
geosphere |
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
ribosomes |
|
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
|
Golgi apparatus |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.
In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?
covalent |
|
ionic |
|
chemical |
|
acidic |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
