Answer the following question given this paragraph: Hip Bone The hip bone, or coxal bone, forms the pelvic girdle portion of the pelvis. The paired hip bones are the large, curved bones that form the lateral and anterior aspects of the pelvis. Each adult hip bone is formed by three separate bones that fuse together during the late teenage years. These bony components are the ilium, ischium, and pubis (Figure 8.13). These names are retained and used to define the three regions of the adult hip bone. Q: Which bones are the large, curved bones that form the lateral and anterior aspects of the pelvis? Choices: - foot - cranium - toe - hip A:
hip
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The value of is not large, so the uncertainty in the position or momentum of a macroscopic object like a baseball is too insignificant to observe. However, the mass of a microscopic object such as an electron is small enough that the uncertainty can be large and significant. It should be noted that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is not just limited to uncertainties in position and momentum, but it also links other dynamical variables. For example, when an atom absorbs a photon and makes a transition from one energy state to another, the uncertainty in the energy and the uncertainty in the time required for the transition are similarly related, as E t . As will be discussed later, even the vector components of angular 2 momentum cannot all be specified exactly simultaneously. Heisenberg's principle imposes ultimate limits on what is knowable in science. The uncertainty principle can be shown to be a consequence of waveparticle duality, which lies at the heart of what distinguishes modern quantum theory from classical mechanics. Recall that the equations of motion obtained from classical mechanics are trajectories where, at any given instant in time, both the position and the momentum of a particle can be determined exactly. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle implies that such a view is untenable in the microscopic domain and that there are fundamental limitations governing the motion of quantum particles. This does not mean that microscopic particles do not move in trajectories, it is just that measurements of trajectories are limited in their precision. In the realm of quantum mechanics, measurements introduce changes into the system that is being observed. Q: What heisenberg principle imposes ultimate limits on what is knowable in science? Choices: - impossibility principle - vacuum principle - certainty principle - uncertainty principle A:
uncertainty principle
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: There is no reason to think that the alignment of the stars has anything to do with events that happen on Earth. The constellations are patterns made from stars in the sky. The patterns do not reflect any characteristics of the stars themselves. When scientific tests are done to provide evidence in support of astrological ideas, the tests fail. When a scientific idea fails, it is abandoned or modified. Astrologers do not change or abandon their ideas when they fail. So astrology is not science. Q: In what process is energy from the sun converted to stored chemical energy in an organism? Choices: - metabolism - digestion - cellular respiration - photosynthesis A:
A: photosynthesis
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: An element is the simplest form of matter that has a unique set of properties. Examples of well-known elements include oxygen, iron, and gold (see the figure below). Elements cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. Likewise, one element cannot be chemically converted into a different element. Q: What is the term for the simplest form of matter that has a unique set of properties? Choices: - an electron - an atom - a neutron - an element A:
Answer: an element
