This law explains why light energy does not decrease at a linear rate as we become further from a light source.
What is the Inverse Square Law?
Give one example each of a basic and an acidic solution.
Possible responses
Basic: baking soda, bleach
Acidic: vinegar, lemon juice
This process creates carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy).
