Can you die from doing too much homework? You may have received harried text messages over the past few days which say something like, “Studying any more today will literally kill me.” We would usually take issue with the seemingly poor use of the word “literally” here, but precedent shows that it actually is possible […]
What does the atomic mass tell you?
What does the atomic mass tell you? The atomic mass tells us the weight of protons and neutrons. How do you know how many electrons there are surrounding the nucleus of a particular atom? Why isn’t the atomic mass always a whole number? Atomic mass is never an integer number for several reasons: The atomic […]

Why is a scale important on a graph?
Why is a scale important on a graph? The distance between two numbers indicates a unit and this unit remains uniform throughout a scale. Thus, a scale plays a crucial part in plotting graphs. Without scales, we won’t be able to infer anything relevant from the graph. A scale on a graph can have any […]

Which is better PNP or NPN transistor?
Which is better PNP or NPN transistor? A NPN transistor has electrons as majority charge carriers whereas the PNP transistor has holes as majority charge carrier. The mobility of electrons is better than mobility of holes. mobility of electrons is more than hole,so as a result npn transistor are faster than pnp that’s why they […]

How do power lines kill birds?
How do power lines kill birds? Birds can be injured or killed with they collide with electric lines in mid-flight. Although birds of all sizes and types collide with wires, their behavior and body type put them more at risk for line collisions. Can a human hang from a power line? Hanging from a power […]
What are the 2 types of active transport?
What are the 2 types of active transport? Active transport requires cellular energy to achieve this movement. There are two types of active transport: primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient. Is facilitated diffusion an example of passive transport? Facilitated diffusion is a type of […]
