How to convert decimals into fractions

Back 7

count the number of places to the right of the decimal. This will be the number of zeros in the denominator. The numbers to the right of the decimal will become the whole number in the numerator. For example: 0.45 > 45/100, 0.237 > 237/1000, .5 > 5/10

Measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution

Back 22

pH: A substance may have an acidic, basic(alkali), or neutral pH. A pH of 7 is considered neutral.

less than 7 is said to be Acid while solutions with a pH above 7 is said to be Basic or Alkali

7 = neutral

WATER

Solid, gas, liquid. Water is denser in its solid state than in its liquid state, this is why ice floats and water freezes from top to bottom.

The most important significant aspect of water is the polarity of its bonds.

Meiosis vs. Mitosis

Back 39

Mitosis is necessary for growth and repair. In this process, the DNA is duplicated and distributed evently to two daughter cells.

Meiosis is the special cell division that takes place int he gonads, that is, the ovaries and testes. In this process the chromosome number is reduced from 46 to 23, so when the egg and the sperm unite in fertilization the zygote will have the correct number of chromosomes.

Cellular Respiration

Back 42

Anarbolic process that leads to cell energy production (ATP).

1 step > Conversion of glucose to pyruvate in a process called GLYCOLYSIS (takes place in the cytosol and produces two molecules of ATP)

2 step > Process of Pyruvate is transported into a mitochondrion and used in the first of series of reactions called the KREBS CYCLE. This takes place in the mitochondria. For a single consumed glucose molecule, two ATP mol., six mol of carbon dioxide, and six NADH mo. are produced.

3 step > Begins with Oxydation of the NADH mol. to produce oxygen and finally to produce water in a series of steps called teh electron transport chain. The energy harvest here is remarkable. For every glucose molecule, 28 to 32 ATP molecules can be produced.
