Q: Thermodynamics do not give us any insight into what attribute of spontaneous processes? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: It should be noted that just because a process is spontaneous does not mean that it occurs quickly. The rusting of iron is a spontaneous process that takes place over a long period of time. The combustion of gasoline in oxygen (also a spontaneous process) is extremely fast when provided with a spark, but gasoline can be stored in air for quite a while without spontaneously combusting. Thermodynamics predicts the direction in which a reaction will eventually proceed, but it does not tell us anything about the rate at which the reaction occurs. The rate of a reaction depends on many factors, including activation energy, temperature, concentration, and the presence or absence of a catalyst. Chemical kinetics focuses on the pathway between reactants and products, while thermodynamics considers only the difference between the initial and final states. Choices: - acceleration - decrease - increase - rate A:
**Answer**
rate

Q: What is the process called in which living things produce offspring? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: All living things are capable of reproduction. Reproduction is the process by which living things give rise to offspring. Reproducing may be as simple as a single cell dividing to form two daughter cells. Generally, however, it is much more complicated. Nonetheless, whether a living thing is a huge whale or a microscopic bacterium, it is capable of reproduction. Choices: - variation - photosynthesis - diversification - reproduction A:
**Answer**
reproduction

Q: Mitosis is nuclear division during which duplicated chromosomes are segregated and distributed into what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Figure 6.3 A cell moves through a series of phases in an orderly manner. During interphase, G1 involves cell growth and protein synthesis, the S phase involves DNA replication and the replication of the centrosome, and G2 involves further growth and protein synthesis. The mitotic phase follows interphase. Mitosis is nuclear division during which duplicated chromosomes are segregated and distributed into daughter nuclei. Usually the cell will divide after mitosis in a process called cytokinesis in which the cytoplasm is divided and two daughter cells are formed. Choices: - father nuclei - long nuclei - woman nuclei - daughter nuclei A:
**Answer**
daughter nuclei

Q: What phenomenon makes global winds blow northeast to southwest or the reverse in the northern hemisphere and northwest to southeast or the reverse in the southern hemisphere? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Without Coriolis Effect the global winds would blow north to south or south to north. But Coriolis makes them blow northeast to southwest or the reverse in the Northern Hemisphere. The winds blow northwest to southeast or the reverse in the southern hemisphere. Choices: - muon effect - centrifugal effect - tropical effect - coriolis effect A:
**Answer**
coriolis effect
