What is the danger of replacing a circuit breaker or fuse with a larger rating? Since all fit the same socket, there is always the danger of replacing one fuse with a higher amperage than is safe. The higher-rated fuse will allow more current to flow than the wires can safely handle, causing overheating and […]

What are the 3 types of wells? There are three types of private drinking water wells. Dug/Bored wells are holes in the ground dug by shovel or backhoe. Driven wells are constructed by driving pipe into the ground. Drilled wells are constructed by percussion or rotary-drilling machines. Does rain fill your well? While your well […]

How do plants benefit from bacteria? Source. Bacteria benefit from the plant nutrients provided by the roots, but plants can benefit from their rhizobacteria as well. Bacteria known as Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are diverse and represent a wide range of phyla. They also perform a wide variety of growth-promoting functions. What is relationship between […]

What is the change of state when wax melts? Melting of wax, by itself, involves a change of state from solid to liquid. When the physical state of a substance changes, no new products are formed. Hence, it is a physical change. What state was the wax in before it was heated? solid What will […]

What is a requirement for storing chemicals? Chemicals must be separated when being stored to ensure that incompatible chemicals do not mix if there is a spill. Keep the outside of containers clean and the storage area tidy. Do not store liquids above solids to avoid contamination in the event of a leak. Always store […]

What are the odds of getting West Nile? The odds of getting the most severe forms of West Nile disease are about one in 150. What are the long term side effects of West Nile virus? The most common long-term effects are depression, tremors, fatigue, memory problems, extremity weakness, word-finding difficulty and headaches. Since WNV […]

What are the 5 steps of fertilization? 5 steps of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. Step 1: Medication. Step 2: Harvest the eggs. Step 3: Fertilization. Step 4: Embryo culture. Step 5: Embryo transfer. What are the main results of fertilization? The result of fertilization is a cell (zygote) capable of undergoing cell division […]

What are the limitations of valence bond theory? Limitations of Valence Bond Theory The theory assumes that electrons are localized in specific areas. It does not give a quantitative interpretation of the thermodynamic or kinetic stabilities of coordination compounds. No distinction between weak and strong ligands. Why MOT is preferred over VBT? molecular orbital theory […]

How do you determine a two-force member? If an element has pins or hinge supports at both ends and carries no load in-between, it is called a two-force member. These elements can only have two forces acting upon them at their hinges. If only two forces act on a body that is in equilibrium, then […]

What is the most energy efficient plant? sugar cane Why do plants not absorb all light? Plants and other photosynthetic organisms are largely filled with pigment protein complexes that they produce to absorb sunlight. The pigment in the lowest layer has to receive enough light to recoup its energy costs, which cannot happen if a […]
