Which of the following is sedimentary rock?
basalt |
|
slate |
|
obsidian |
|
sandstone |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = w t\) |
|
\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\) |
|
\(P = {w \over t}\) |
|
\(P = \vec{w}t\) |
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).

Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?
number of electron shells |
|
atomic weight |
|
atomic number |
|
atomic mass |
The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.
In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
ribosomes |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
|
endoplasmic reticulum |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.
