This basic electrical law states that the voltage across a conductor is equal to the current through it multiplied by its resistance.
What is Ohm’s Law?
What part of cellular respiration produces 32 ATP?
What is the electron transport chain?
This phenomenon explains why time passes slightly differently for GPS satellites than for clocks on Earth, even without considering speed.
What is gravitational time dilation?
Which process is common to photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

(Triple Points is name is said, double points if you know the nickname)
This ultra-rare genetic condition, characterized by a clubbed big toe, it causes the body's repair mechanism to malfunction, replacing muscles, tendons, and ligaments with bone—effectively creating a "second skeleton" that eventually locks the joints in place.
