reflection |
|
refraction |
|
sound radiation |
|

Cellular fermentation takes place:
anaerobically |
|
in plant cells |
|
aerobically |

Reproductive haploids are also known as:
sperm |
|
gametes |
|
diploids |
|
ovum |
Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.

Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a direction only |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
