Living cells come only from existing cells is called?

Living cells only come from preexisting cells is a principle stated in The Cell Theory.


What happens to an element if you remove all of its electrons?

Electrons are the prime observers. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle tells us that a quantum system is in a superposition state until it is observed. Many people have come to believe that this observer must be a human or a living creature but this is not the case. Electrons throughout the universe are the front line observers that collapse the waveform of atomic nuclei which are quantum systems. All of the matter you see around you are quantum systems whose waveforms had been collapsed by one or more electrons. So if you remove all of the electrons from lets say, a pound of rock or any matter, that masses superposition state is returned and you have a volume of what is known as a plasma. Yes the kind of plasma similar to that found in your plasma TV or in the sun.


In the laboratory volumes of liquid are usually measured with?

A graduated cylinder is fast and easy but the least accurate. The cylinders come in sizes ranging from 5.0 mL to 2.0 L Pipettes and buttresses are more accurate (less uncertainty in the measurement) and also come in a variety of sizes - 1.0 mL to 50 mL For larger volumes but with high accuracy are volumetric flasks again in a range of sizes - 5.0 mL to 5.0 L lol butts crazy good


How did bohr and schrodinger describe the atom?

1-Electrons are assumed to revolve around the atomic nucleus in discrete orbitals,and the position of any particular electron is more or less well defined in terms of its orbitals 2-energies of electrons are quantized;that is, electrons are permitted to have only specific values of energies.


What subatomic particles are first to contact each other when two atoms come togehter?

It is not possible for two particles to touch (via the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that two fermions are not able to occupy the same quantum state); however they will interact. In the case of atoms, assuming that they are not merely nuclei, the electrons will interact first via the electromagnetic or weak force.

How can the big bang theory be true when there was nothing to explode in space in the first place?

It's very difficult to know exactly what happened thirteen and a half billion years ago at the time of the Big Bang. But it definitely was not produced by nothing, it was produced by an object known as the Cosmic Egg. The question then becomes, where did the Cosmic Egg come from? Some scientists have speculated that it may have come from another universe or possibly may have resulted from the collision of two universes, or may have been a form of quantum fluctuation resulting from the fact that even when you have absolutely nothing, there is still some degree of uncertainty that results from the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and given an infinite amount of time in which to operate, you might come up with a very large quantum fluctuation, perhaps as big as the Cosmic Egg. These are all interesting speculations but as yet we have no definitive answer.

Can particles always be fixed in place?

It depends on the size of the particle. Very small particles like electrons have an intrinsic uncertainty in either their position ot their energy, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, so could not ever "fixed" in place Larger particles such as molecules always move a little thermal energy, (heat) even at very low temperatures.

Is the uncertainty behind 2012 being used by multiple ideas on the internet?

There is no "uncertainty" about 2012 beyond the standard uncertainty that since it's in the future we don't know exactly what's going to happen. Any reasonable person knows what's not going to happen, though: the doomsday prophecies of a few crackpots are not going to come true.


Why do material particles vibrate?

Thermal energy in a material causes the particles to vibrate. Particles cannot stop moving altogether, since they would then violate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This states that we cannot know a particles speed and position to infinite precision at the same time. A particle in a material that is not jiggling would violate this. The more and faster that the particles are jiggling, the more energy they must have. If they come into contact with particles that are jiggling less, then that energy spreads. The faster jiggling particles slow down, transferring their energy to the slower particles, which speed up. This is just the transfer of heat from one material to another! Here's a good video from famous physicist Richard Feynman explaining "jiggling atoms."
