What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
brainstem |
|
medulla |
|
cerebrum |
|
cerebellum |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?
hydrogen |
|
acid |
|
ion |
|
base |
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.
Menstruation occurs when:
the ovum fails to become fertilized |
|
the zygote is formed |
|
the fetus is formed |
|
the ovum becomes fertilized |
If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).
212°F is how many °C?
-100 |
|
100 |
|
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |
|
0 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.
liquid |
|
gel |
|
gas |
|
solid |
An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.
