Two or more substances that are in the same place but are not chemically combined?

Mixture

500

What is the current?

The flow of electrons in the circuit.

In 1928, this scientist accidentally discovered penicillin, which would go on to save millions of lives as the world’s first antibiotic. His discovery marked the beginning of modern antibiotics. Who is he?

Alexander Fleming

500

What is the SI unit of force?

Newton

600

John was observing the physical properties of elements in order to classify them as either a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid. The first element was dull, brittle, and did not conduct heat. What would its classification be?

nonmetal

600

Where is the electricity generated?

In a power station

600

Who built the first microscope?

What gases contribute most to the greenhouse effect?

Carbon dioxide, methane

800

Which gas is produced when an acid reacts with a metal?

A group of ciliated cells is responsible for moving mucus in the respiratory tract. If one of the ciliated cells loses its ability to move its cilia, how might this affect the health of the respiratory system?

If one of the ciliated cells loses its ability to move its cilia, it would disrupt the coordinated movement of mucus in the respiratory tract. This could lead to a buildup of mucus and debris in that area, increasing the risk of infections, blockages, and reduced airflow.
