Which of the following is true about species groups?
an ecosystem is a biological population |
|
a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres |
|
a population is made up of a group of communities |
|
a community is made up of a group of populations |
A population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.
Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?
carbohydrates |
|
fiber |
|
protein |

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?
hot |
|
freezing |
|
stormy |
|
fair |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?
base |
|
acid |
|
hydrogen |
|
ion |
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.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
|
none of these |
|
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
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 \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
