Is charging by conduction permanent? Charging by conduction gives the previously uncharged object a permanent charge. An uncharged object can also be charged using a method called charging by induction. This process allows a change in charge without actually touching the charged and uncharged objects to each other. What is positive and negative charges? There […]

What is the formula for oxygen? O₂ Is oxygen a mixture? *Note: pure oxygen gas consists of molecules but it is still considered an element, rather than a compound, as the molecules are made up of a single type of element….Pure Substances. Pure Substance Element or Compound? Consists of: Ammonia (NH3) compound ammonia molecules Is […]

Why do I cry when I yawn? Our eyes need to stay wet, so these glands produce tears all the time to slowly release onto our eyes. When we yawn, our face muscle contract and put pressure on the tear glands. This causes them to release excess tears. Together, this means that your eyes water […]

What is Arcsin equal to? arcsin sin30 = 0.5 Means: The sine of 30 degrees is 0.5 arcsin 0.5 = 30 Means: The angle whose sin is 0.5 is 30 degrees. How do you calculate Arcsin? arcsin is defined to be the inverse of sin but restricted to a certain range. Hence arcsin(sin(x))=x if x […]

How does life on earth depends on the process of photosynthesis? Most life on Earth depends on photosynthesis. The process is carried out by plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, which capture energy from sunlight to produce oxygen (O2) and chemical energy stored in glucose (a sugar). What is the important of photosynthesis? It’s […]

What are two examples of biogeochemical cycles? Ecological systems (ecosystems) have many biogeochemical cycles operating as a part of the system, for example, the water cycle, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, etc. All chemical elements occurring in organisms are part of biogeochemical cycles. Is photosynthesis a biogeochemical cycle? This type of cycle of atoms […]
