What is the motion of a - charged particle when placed near a fixed +Q?

the - charged particle ACCELERATES toward + charge (Coulomb force b/w unlike charges causes neg particle to accelerate toward positive particle; does not more w/ constant speed)

why do some compounds lose weight when heated from 20º to 700ºC?

volatile components are released. Increase in temperature will increase vapor pressure of volatile (reactive) components. If Temp gets high enough, volatile components will vaporize and mass will go down

group (column)

Equation: Energy lost to friction when an item moves down an incline plane

E lost to F(f) = F * d (over when Force acts)

Equation: Coefficient of Friction:

Coefficient of Friction = F(f) / F(n)

Equation: F(n) on a level surface

F(n) = m * g | Note: g = 10 m/s^2

If the initial height of an incline is reduced by 1/2, how is speed affected?

speed decreases by a factor of √2; If the object experiences no friction when moving down the hill, set P.E. = m*g*h equal to K.E. = (m * v^2) / 2. Set the ratio of the speed at the bottom of the hill from h2/h1 and take √.

What is the distance b/w adjacent nodes in a standing wave pattern?

What recombinant process depends on F factor plasmids?

Conjugation (1 way bacteria exchange genes)

3 ways in which bacteria exchange genes

Conjugation, Transformation, and Transduction

1 bacterium produces a sex pilus and transfers DNA through it to another bacterium. Needs genes for sex pilus; genes located on a plasmid; requires fertility (F) factor plasmid char. of gram negative bacteria

conjugation

way in which bacteria exchange genes | bacteria take up DNA from its surroundings

aniline and benzylamine are both ______ amines

primary; both structures are R-NH2

contraction of the diaphragm results in....

more negative IPP and inspiration diaphragm flattens when it contracts during inspiration and the volume of thoracic cavity increases. increased volume reduces pressure (IPP) in pleural cavity b/w thoracic wall and lung; air flows in to equalize pressure and inflates the lung

air flows into pleural cavity to restore equilibrium during negative gauge pressure

inspiration

the left ventricular wall is _______ compared to the right ventricular wall and generates ______ pressure when it contracts.

thicker generates higher pressure pumps blood from heart to rest of the body, thicker wall pumps w higher pressure

the right ventricular wall is _______ and generates ______ pressure when it contracts. This is because it pumps blood to the _____.

thinner lower pressure pumps blood from the heart to the lungs

if an artery that supplies blood to the lung was blocked but ventilation was ok, how would alveolar partial pressures change?

P(O2) would increase and P(CO2) would decrease. There would be no hemoglobin-rich RBCs to take away O2 and no influx of CO2 from blood.

Do all arthopods have to have a true Coelom because they have a nervous system?

No, coelom development is completely independent of nerve tissue development.

A coelom (body cavity) forms as pouches in the _______.

Mesoderm

Ectoderm

An uncharged N always has _____ bonds.
