Q. You apply a very small force, say 0.001 newtons, to a very large truck, with a mass of 2000 kilograms. What can you say for sure about what will happen to the truck? A. The truck will accelerate(move from rest to motion) as long as that tiny force is larger than any force of friction that opposes it. B. The truck will not move because small forces cannot move large objects. C. The truck will accelerate(move from rest to...

Suppose you observe an unknown bacterial culture in which the bacterial cells are round in shape and strung together in long strings. You would correctly describe it as? unknown (duh). staphylococci. streptococci. staphylobacillus. streptobacillus. Which of the following is FALSE? Viruses are generally larger than bacteria.

1. a. It’s estimated that each human somatic cell contains two copies (one on each homologous chromosome) of about 21,000 genes. If you took a close look at one of these (differentiated cells), would you expect all copies of these 21,000 genes to be actively making proteins at any one time?  If you say yes, explain why (generally) it would be advantageous for a cell to actively express all of its genes.  If you say no, explain why (generally) it would be...

6. Comparing two groups If smoking really is bad for your health, you expect that a comparison of a group of people who have quit smoking with a group that has continued to smoke will reveal that the group quitting is, on average, healthier than the group that continued. Statement true, false or does its truth depend on unstated conditions? Explain why. In the last case, on what conditions does it depend on and how?
