The rate of vibration of sound is called:
volume |
|
amplitude |
|
frequency |
|
period |
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.
Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?
all of these are untrue |
|
opposite poles attract each other |
|
same poles repel each other |
|
opposite poles repel each other |
Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
oxygen |
|
water |
|
mitochondria |
|
sugar |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
