Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?
species |
|
domain |
|
family |
|
genus |
The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
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.
Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
dense, empty |
|
warmer, cooler |
|
cooler, warmer |
|
empty, dense |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
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: \(\vec{v}\)
A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?
a sound wave is much slower than a light wave |
|
a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic |
|
all of these are correct |
|
a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
