Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \) |
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
What is the body's largest artery?
capillary |
|
aorta |
|
vena cava |
|
arteriole |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 4 is:
alkaline |
|
neutral |
|
basic |
|
acidic |
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.
__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.
vitamin D, magnesium |
|
calcium, vitamin A |
|
vitamin D, calcium |
|
iron, calcium |
Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.
When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:
more complex |
|
less complex |
|
none of these |
|
similarly complex |
Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.
