What plant hormone allows plants to curve in a specific direction?
[ "pheremone", "auxin", "peptides", "apoptosis" ]
B
Plants may not be able to move to another location, but they are able to change how they grow in response to their environment. Growth toward or away from a stimulus is known as a tropism ( Table below ). Auxins, a class of plant hormones, allow plants to curve in specific directions as they grow. The auxin moves to on...

In the xy-plane, line e passes through point (3,-2) and intersect perpendicularly with line n that passes through points (0,3) and (3,5). What is the equation of line e?
[ "3x+2y+5=0", "4x+3y-6=0", "2x-3y-12=0", "3x+2y-5=0" ]
D
If two lines intersect perpendicularly, we get -1 when we multiply two slopes together. The slope of a line n is (5-3)/(3-0)=2/3. Hence, the slope of a line e should be -3/2. Since it crosses (3,-2), if we calculate we get 3x+2y=5. Hence, the correct answer is A.

What is an interesting example of a molecule with two central atoms, which are both c atoms?
[ "chloride", "acetylene", "sulfur", "water" ]
B
Acetylene is an interesting example of a molecule with two central atoms, which are both C atoms. Polyatomic ions are bonded together with covalent bonds. Because they are ions, however, they participate in ionic bonding with other ions. So both major types of bonding can occur at the same time.

The rate of a certain chemical reaction is directly proportional to the square of the concentration of chemical A present and inversely proportional to the concentration of chemical B present. If the concentration of chemical B is increased by 40%, which of the following is closest to the percent change in the concentr...
[ "50% decrease", "40% increase", "40% decrease", "50% increase" ]
A
The rate of reaction is invesrsly proportional to the concentration of chemical B present. It used to have B=1 . Now that B is increased by 40%. So the new equation would be 2B=(1/2). In order for the rate of reaction to still be 1, we need to change the concentration of A to yield a 2. It used to be A^2=1, now the new...

Seven years ago Anoop was P times as old as Kiran was. If Anoop is now 17 years old, how old is Kiran now in terms of P ?
[ "17 - P/7", "10/P + 7", "P/11 +7", "11.5P" ]
B
let's call Kiran's age seven years ago is x so seven years ago Anoop was: 17-7 = 10 years old and seven years ago Anoop was P times as old as Kiran was => 10/x = P => x = 10/P => Now Kiran's age will be : x+7 = 10/P+7 => the answer is A
