What is the importance of isotopes in our daily life? Radioactive isotopes have many useful applications. In medicine, for example, cobalt-60 is extensively employed as a radiation source to arrest the development of cancer. Other radioactive isotopes are used as tracers for diagnostic purposes as well as in research on metabolic processes. What means 2he? […]
What two things started Earth?
What two things started Earth? When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun. Like its fellow terrestrial planets, Earth has a central core, a rocky mantle and a solid crust. Why […]
Is deceleration a physics word?
Is deceleration a physics word? Rick suggests: “Deceleration” is not actually a term in physics. It is only an English word used in common speech, meaning “a decrease in speed.” The problem with this word is that some students mistake it to mean the same as negative acceleration. Is deceleration a vector quantity? In a […]
How many coordinate systems are there?
How many coordinate systems are there? In this article we mainly discuss two types of coordinate systems. What is the difference between phi and theta? Theta is the same as the angle used in polar coordinates. Phi is the angle between the z-axis and the line connecting the origin and the point. How do you […]

What enzymes do lysosomes contain?
What enzymes do lysosomes contain? Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles that contain digestive enzymes, such as glycosidases, proteases and sulfatases. Lysosomal enzymes are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), are transported to the Golgi apparatus, and are tagged for lysosomes by the addition of mannose-6-phosphate label. What organelle is responsible for respiration? The “powerhouses” of the […]

Where is a magnetic field the weakest?
Where is a magnetic field the weakest? equator What makes a magnet stronger or weaker? Most substances have an equal number of electrons spinning in opposite directions, which cancels out their magnetism. These substances have high magnetic permeability and make the strongest magnets. Iron, cobalt and nickel are among these substances. Neodymium iron boron (NdFeb) […]
How do you set up dimensional analysis problems?
How do you set up dimensional analysis problems? Set up each problem by writing down what you need to find with a question mark. Then set it equal to the information that you are given. The problem is solved by multiplying the given data and its units by the appropriate unit factors so that only […]
