What are the three main states of matter? They are very compressible (particles are widely spaced). There are three states of matter: solid; liquid and gas. Can be compressed into smaller spaces? Because there is space between the particles, they can be squashed into a smaller volume when the gas is compressed….particles are fixed to […]

What are the most common two letter words? The most common two-letter words are of, to, in, it, is, be, as, at, so, we, he, by, or, on, do, if, me, my, up, an, go, no, us, am. The most common three-letter words are the and and. Which vowel is used least? Z What are […]

How do you write a DNA sequence from mRNA? DNA utilizes four bases, adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), in its code. RNA also uses four bases. However, instead of using ‘T’ as DNA does, it uses uracil (U). Therefore, if your DNA sequence is 3′ T C G T T C […]

What 4 things are needed for photosynthesis? For photosynthesis to take place, plants need to take in carbon dioxide (from the air), water (from the ground) and light (usually from the sun). What are the three end products of photosynthesis? Glucose and oxygen are the final products of photosynthesis. We all know that photosynthesis is […]

How energy is transformed in our body? All of the body processes, like digestion, pumping blood, breathing, are powered by cells converting the stored chemical energy into work and heat, in a process called respiration. Inside the muscle cells of the human (or any animal), the chemical energy is transformed (changed) into mechanical work and […]

Is CRT TV bad for eyes? There are two things about CRTs that can potentially damage eyesight. #1 is staring at the same close-range object for hours at a time, causing eyestrain. The muscles that focus the lens are forced to hold one position for a long time, and that can hurt them after too […]

What are the two main ideas of the kinetic molecular theory of matter? The simplest kinetic model is based on the assumptions that: (1) the gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving in random directions, separated by distances that are large compared with their size; (2) the molecules undergo perfectly elastic […]

What is R value of bubble wrap? Most brands of foil-faced bubble wrap are only 3/8 inch thick or less, and have an R-value of only 1.0 or 1.1. Since the product often costs more per square foot than 1-inch thick rigid foam rated at R-5, why would anyone use bubble wrap as insulation? What […]

What are the three main reasons for seasons? We have seasons because the earth is tilted (wonky) as it makes its yearly journey around the sun. The Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees….Winter Months Tilt. Revolution – The Earth revolves around the Sun. The North Pole always POINTS in the Same […]
