Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction only |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
The rate of vibration of sound is called:
period |
|
amplitude |
|
frequency |
|
volume |
The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Secondary consumers that also eat producers are known as:
herbivores |
|
scavengers |
|
carnivores |
|
omnivores |
Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.
A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:
a food chain |
|
a community |
|
a biome |
|
a population |
A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:
more complex |
|
none of these |
|
similarly complex |
|
less 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.
