Five students each used the same scale to measure the weight of the same object. Their measurements were: 52.1 grams, 52.2 grams, 52.0 grams, 52.1 grams, and 52.0 grams. The actual weight of the object was 51.8 grams. Explain whether the students' measurements were accurate, precise, both, or neither.

The students' measurements are not accurate, as they consistently exceed the actual weight of the object. However, their measurements are moderately precise since they are consistent with each other.

Briefly describe the difference between adhesion and cohesion. 

adhesion - different molecules sticking together

cohesion - the same molecules sticking together 

300

Identify the independent and dependent variables in the hypotheses below:
If the amount of sunlight a sunflower plant receives per day is increased, then the height of the sunflower plant will also increase because sunlight is a crucial factor for plant growth.

IV - amount of sunlight 

DV - plant growth (height)

400
Briefly describe the charge distribution in a polar molecule vs. a non-polar molecule.

What is considered to be the universal solvent? 

Water! 

500

There are several levels of protein structure, the most complex of which is quaternary. Why are there so many different ways our bodies make proteins?

Our bodies make proteins in many different ways because each protein serves a specific job in our bodies, like helping with digestion or building muscle. These variations in protein structure help them do their unique tasks, making our bodies work properly.

500

What do we mean when we say that water has a high specific heat?

The temperature of water does not change easily.
