bottom of the meniscus.
What is mechanical energy? - (correct Answer) - The total energy of motion and position of an object.
What instrument is used to measure mechanical energy? - (correct Answer) - A spring scale, which can
be used to measure the force (in newtons) of various objects.
How many variables should students change at a time when modifying their science experiments? -
(correct Answer) - One.
What is aerobic respiration? - (correct Answer) - Occurs in the presence of oxygen so that glucose is
broken down completely to produce energy that is stored in the form of ATP.
What is a primary consumer? - (correct Answer) - The primary consumer eats the producer. For example,
a mouse (primary consumer) eats wheat (producer).
