Answer: B) OH- Explanation: A conjugate acid, is a species formed by the reception of a proton (H+) by a base—in other words, it is a base with a hydrogen ion added to it. On the other hand, a conjugate base is what is left over after an acid has donated a proton during a chemical reaction. Hence, a conjugate base is a species formed by the removal of a proton from an acid. Because some acids are capable of releasing multiple protons, the conjugate base of an acid may itself be acidic. Represented as the following chemical reaction: Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid   The water molecule is the conjugate acid of the hydroxide ion after the latter received the hydrogen proton donated by ammonium. On the other hand, ammonia is the conjugate base for the acid ammonium after ammonium has donated a hydrogen ion towards the production of the water molecule. We can also refer to OH- as a conjugate base of H2O, since the water molecule donates a proton towards the production of NH+4 in the reverse reaction, which is the predominating process in nature due to the strength of the base NH3 over the hydroxide ion.

Answer: C) The cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins Explanation: Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, an mRNA sequence is read using the genetic code, which is a set of rules that defines how an mRNA sequence is to be translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.   In short, during the process of translation source language text is conveyed to destination language.

Answer: B) -1 Explanation: Given 5x - 6 = 3x - 8 5x - 3x = -8 + 6 2x = -2 => x = -1.

Answer: D) A legislature passes a bill that must be approved by voters. Explanation:

Garbage truck. It’s true, a garbage truck has 4 wheels and lots of flies because flies like garbage. Here flies means insects like houseflies, mosquitoes, ... It doesn't mean that it flies in the air.

Answer: D) Footsteps Explanation: Yes, footsteps are what we take more, the more we leave behind.

Answer: A) two monosaccharides Explanation: Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides join together by the dehydration synthesis reaction resulting in a glycosidic bond between the two monosaccharide molecules. The reaction produces water as a side product.

Answer: A) Radio waves Explanation: Radio waves have much longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than do visible light waves. In contrast, X-rays have much shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.  Ultraviolet Light (UV). part of the electromagnetic spectrum that consists of waves with frequencies higher than those of visible light and lower than those of x-rays.
