Answer the following question given this paragraph: Solution: The force acting to move the system is the weight of box B, and the force resisting the movement is the force of friction between the table and box A. The mass of the system is the sum of the masses of both boxes. The acceleration of the system can be found by dividing the net force by the total mass. Q: Dividing net force by total mass yields what? Choices: - energy - transmission - movement - acceleration A:
acceleration
Answer the following question given this paragraph: taste, and nutrition of butter. (Preservatives and antioxidants are also added. ) In most commercial peanut butter, the peanut oil has been partially hydrogenated to prevent it from separating out. Consumers could decrease the amount of saturated fat in their diet by using the original unprocessed oils on their foods, but most people would rather spread margarine on their toast than pour oil on it. Many people have switched from butter to margarine or vegetable shortening because of concerns that saturated animal fats can raise blood cholesterol levels and result in clogged arteries. However, during the hydrogenation of vegetable oils, an isomerization reaction occurs that produces the trans fatty acids mentioned in the opening essay. However, studies have shown that trans fatty acids also raise cholesterol levels and increase the incidence of heart disease. Trans fatty acids do not have the bend in their structures, which occurs in cis fatty acids and thus pack closely together in the same way that the saturated fatty acids do. Consumers are now being advised to use polyunsaturated oils and soft or liquid margarine and reduce their total fat consumption to less than 30% of their total calorie intake each day. Fats and oils that are in contact with moist air at room temperature eventually undergo oxidation and hydrolysis reactions that cause them to turn rancid, acquiring a characteristic disagreeable odor. One cause of the odor is the release of volatile fatty acids by hydrolysis of the ester bonds. Butter, for example, releases foul-smelling butyric, caprylic, and capric acids. Microorganisms present in the air furnish lipases that catalyze this process. Hydrolytic rancidity can easily be prevented by covering the fat or oil and keeping it in a refrigerator. Another cause of volatile, odorous compounds is the oxidation of the unsaturated fatty acid components, particularly the readily oxidized structural unit. Q: What is produced during the hydrogenation of vegetable oils? Choices: - complete fatty acids - rich fatty acids - partially-hydrogenated fatty acids - trans fatty acids A:
trans fatty acids
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Two approaches to logical thinking developed over the centuries. These two methods are inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning . Inductive reasoning involves getting a collection of specific examples and drawing a general conclusion from them. Deductive reasoning takes a general principle and then draws a specific conclusion from the general concept. Both are used in the development of scientific ideas. Q: What are the two methods of logical thinking? Choices: - Observation and result - cathartic and deductive - inductive and dynamical - inductive and deductive A:
A: inductive and deductive
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A crystal contains a three-dimensional array of alternating positive and negative ions. The precise pattern depends on the compound. A crystal of sodium chloride, shown here, is a collection of alternating sodium and chlorine ions. Q: What does the precise pattern of a crystal depend on? Choices: - chance - mass - age - compound A:
Answer: compound

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Overview of Transcription. Transcription uses the sequence of bases in a strand of DNA to make a complementary strand of mRNA. Triplets are groups of three successive nucleotide bases in DNA. Codons are complementary groups of bases in mRNA. Every triplet, or codon, encodes for a unique amino acid. Q: What is the process of creating complementary strands of mrna called? Choices: - mutation - division - differentiation - transcription A:
**Answer**
transcription

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sometimes atoms lose or gain electrons. Then they become ions . Ions have a positive or negative charge. That's because they do not have the same number of electrons as protons. If atoms lose electrons, they become positive ions, or cations. If atoms gain electrons, they become negative ions, or anions. Q: When an atom gains or loses an electron it becames an? Choices: - electron - photon - neutron - ion A:
(A).
ion
