Waves and Motion
This term describes the maximum displacement of a wave from its resting position, related to a sound's volume.
What is amplitude?
This molecule, shaped like a double helix, carries the genetic instructions for all living things.
What is DNA?
An acid.
What is a substance with a low pH/releases H+ ions.
This term describes the number of wave cycles passing a point per second, measured in Hertz.
What is frequency?
DNA base that pairs with cytosine (C).
What is guanine (G).
The correct name for the molecule NH3.
What is Nitrogen trihydride.
Sound waves are this type of wave, where particles vibrate parallel to the direction the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit roughly this proportion of their genetic material from each parent.
What is 50%?
Balanced reaction of: H2 + O2 = H2O
What is 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O
This formula relates a wave's speed to its frequency and wavelength.
What is v = f × λ (speed = frequency × wavelength)?
This term describes an organism's genetic makeup, as opposed to its observable traits.
What is geneotype?
In this type of reaction, the positive ions of two compounds swap partners in solution.
What is a double displacement reaction?
Unlike sound, this type of wave does not need a medium and can travel through the vacuum of space.
What is an electromagnetic wave?
This term describes a random change in a DNA sequence, which may be beneficial, harmful, or have no noticeable effect.
Balanced reaction of: ZnS + O2 = ZnO + SO2
What is 2ZnS + 3O2 = 2ZnO + 2SO2?
