What is an experimental control example? Experimental controls are used in scientific experiments to prevent factors other than those being studied from affecting the outcome. For example, suppose a researcher feeds an experimental artificial sweetener to thirty laboratory rats and observes that eight of them subsequently die of dehydration. Why is it important to have […]
What happens to the molecules of water when it freezes?
What happens to the molecules of water when it freezes? Point out that when water freezes, the water molecules have slowed down enough that their attractions arrange them into fixed positions. Water molecules freeze in a hexagonal pattern and the molecules are further apart than they were in liquid water. Note: The molecules in ice […]
What best describes white light after it passes through a prism?
What best describes white light after it passes through a prism? Visible light, also known as white light, consists of a collection of component colors. Upon passage through the prism, the white light is separated into its component colors – red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The separation of visible light into its different […]
How many volts is 2000 watts?
Why must the transfer of metal be done quickly?
Where is the lithosphere?
Where is the lithosphere? The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. What are the two main […]
What happens when electrons get excited?
What happens if you block potassium channels?
What happens if you block potassium channels? Activation leads to an increase in conductance and the termination of action potentials, hyperpolarization, and a reduction in excitability. Conversely, a block of the channels leads to depolarization, prolongation of action potentials, repetitive firing, and increases in transmitter release and endocrine activity. What happens if potassium leak channels […]
Do polar molecules have to be asymmetrical?
Do polar molecules have to be asymmetrical? Polar molecules MUST have an asymmetrical structure to be polar, because symmetry cancels out net charge. Asymmetrical molecules are always polar. Symmetrical molecules can be polar and non-polar. Polarity is dependent on the difference in electronegativity of the molecule’s atoms and shape. What is an example of asymmetrical? […]
