Work is measured in:
watts |
|
horsepower |
|
joules or newton-meters |
|
amps |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?
cytoplasm |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
mitochondria |
|
nucleus |
The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.
Which of Earth's layers has weather?
stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
thermosphere |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
Which of these foods should a person with high cholesterol avoid?
avocados |
|
vegetable oils |
|
olive oil |
|
eggs |
Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils). Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.
The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
