Answer the following question given this paragraph: The proportionality between the rate and becomes an equal sign by the insertion of a constant . A rate law is an expression showing the relationship of the reaction rate to the concentrations of each reactant. The specific rate constant is the proportionality constant relating the rate of the reaction to the concentrations of reactants. The rate law and the specific rate constant for any chemical reaction must be determined experimentally. The value of the rate constant is temperature dependent. A large value of the rate constant means that the reaction is relatively fast, while a small value of the rate constant means that the reaction is relatively slow. Q: What is the term for an expression showing the relationship of the reaction rate to the concentrations of each reactant? Choices: - decay law - flow law - concentric law - rate law A:
rate law

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Farther from the heart, where the surge of blood has dampened, the percentage of elastic fibers in an artery's tunica intima decreases and the amount of smooth muscle in its tunica media increases. The artery at this point is described as a muscular artery. The diameter of muscular arteries typically ranges from 0.1 mm to 10 mm. Their thick tunica media allows muscular arteries to play a leading role in vasoconstriction. In contrast, their decreased quantity of elastic fibers limits their ability to expand. Fortunately, because the blood pressure has eased by the time it reaches these more distant vessels, elasticity has become less important. Notice that although the distinctions between elastic and muscular arteries are important, there is no "line of demarcation" where an elastic artery suddenly becomes muscular. Rather, there is a gradual transition as the vascular tree repeatedly branches. In turn, muscular arteries branch to distribute blood to the vast network of arterioles. For this reason, a muscular artery is also known as a distributing artery. Q: The thick tunica media allows muscular arteries to play a leading role in what? Choices: - inhibition - vasodilation - accumulation - vasoconstriction A:
vasoconstriction

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Start right above point on the temperature axis and follow the red line vertically. At very low pressure, the particles of the substance are far apart from one another and the substance is in the gas state. As the pressure is increased, the particles of the substance are forced closer and closer together. Eventually the particles are pushed so close together that attractive forces cause the substance to condense into the liquid state. Continually increasing the pressure on the liquid will eventually cause the substance to solidify. For the majority of substances, the solid state is denser than the liquid state and so putting a liquid under great pressure will cause it to turn into a solid. The line segment represents the process of sublimation, where the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas. At a sufficiently low pressure, the liquid phase does not exist. The point labeled is called the triple point . The triple point is the one condition of temperature and pressure where the solid, liquid, and vapor states of a substance can all coexist at equilibrium. Q: Continually increasing the pressure on the liquid will eventually cause the substance to do what? Choices: - explode - erode - transform - solidify A:
solidify

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Chapter 26 1 Figure 26.8 B. The diploid zygote forms after the pollen tube has finished forming, so that the male generative nuclei can fuse with the female gametophyte. 3 D 5 C 7 A 9 B 11 C 13 B 15 C 17 D 19 Both pollination and herbivory contributed to diversity, with plants needing to attract some insects and repel others. 21 The trees are adapted to arid weather, and do not lose as much water due to transpiration as non-conifers. 23 The resemblance between cycads and palm trees is only superficial. Cycads are gymnosperms and do not bear flowers or fruit. Cycads produce cones: large, female cones that produce naked seeds, and smaller male cones on separate plants. Palms do not. 25 Using animal pollinators promotes cross-pollination and increases genetic diversity. The odds that the pollen will reach another flower are greatly increased compared with the randomness of wind pollination. Q: When does the diploid zygote form? Choices: - never - before the pollen tube - before the haploid zygote - after the pollen tube A:
after the pollen tube
