Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
electron shells

Neurons are part of the __________ nervous system.
peripheral
The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.
The joule is a unit of measurement for:
energy
The joule is a unit of measurement for energy.
Using a fuse with a current rating higher than that required by a circuit:
makes the circuit less safe
A fuse is a type of low resistance resistor that stops current flow in a circuit in response to a larger than intended electric current flow. Using a fuse with a higher current rating than required by a circuit is less safe as it could potentially allow overcurrent and risk a fire or heat-related equipment damage.
If \( \left|x + 9\right| \) - 3 = 7, which of these is a possible value for x?
First, solve for \( \left|x + 9\right| \):
\( \left|x + 9\right| \) - 3 = 7
\( \left|x + 9\right| \) = 7 + 3
\( \left|x + 9\right| \) = 10
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (x + 9) must equal + 10 or -10 for \( \left|x + 9\right| \) to equal 10:
| x + 9 = 10 x = 10 - 9 x = 1 | x + 9 = -10 x = -10 - 9 x = -19 |
So, x = -19 or x = 1.
Which of these is not a phase in cell division?
megaphase
Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
