The formula for acceleration is which of the following?
\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) |
Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass. The formula for acceleration is \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force, \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
diaphragm |
|
pulmonary |
|
bronchioles |
|
trachea |
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 large intestine does which of the following?
processes the physical waste produced by digestion |
|
breaks down fats |
|
breaks down starches |
|
breaks down proteins |
The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.
Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?
phase transition |
|
heating |
|
cooling |
|
sublimation |
A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.
In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
water |
|
sugar |
|
mitochondria |
|
oxygen |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
