What is homeostasis in cells?
What is homeostasis in cells? In biology, homeostasis is the state of steady internal, physical, and chemical conditions maintained by living systems. This is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism and includes many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits (homeostatic range). What is homeostatic imbalance […]
What will happen when a force is applied on a moving object against the direction of motion?
What is light quality?
What is light quality? Light quality is the wavelength (in nanometers, nm) within the electromagnetic spectrum; i.e. blue light is 450 nm and red light is 650 nm. Each wavelength has a different packet of radiation or energy (in J mol-1) called photons. What type of light causes damage to plants? UV-B radiation has been […]

The only vertical force acting on the fired bullet is gravity. Therefore, the fired bullet and the dropped bullet both experience the same exact downward force. This […]
How do plants maintain the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
How do plants maintain the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide?

What is the role of trees […]
What keeps the moon moving in a circular motion?
What keeps the moon moving in a circular motion? Gravitational attraction provides the centripetal force needed to keep planets in orbit around the Sun and all types of satellite in orbit around the Earth. The Earth’s gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us. It keeps changing the direction of the Moon’s velocity. What changes continuously in […]
