In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?
mitochondria |
|
nucleus |
|
cytoplasm |
|
Golgi apparatus |
The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.
Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
primarily liquid |
|
solid |
|
liquid |
|
primarily solid |
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:
shells |
|
families |
|
periods |
|
groups |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 4 is:
acidic |
|
alkaline |
|
basic |
|
neutral |
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.
-40°F is how many °C?
-8 |
|
-40 |
|
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
\({40 \over 9}\) |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
