Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
fourth |
|
third |
|
first |
|
second |
Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:
deoxygenate blood |
|
transport oxygen |
|
add carbon dioxide |
|
transport nutrients |
Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?
ionic |
|
molecular |
|
chemical |
|
covalent |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?
Golgi apparatus |
|
mitochondria |
|
nucleus |
|
cytoplasm |
The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.
