Multiplying a function by a negative constant reflects the graph across the x-axis.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases calcium levels in the blood by stimulating the release of calcium from bones and increasing calcium absorption in the intestines.

Photoperiod is crucial in determining the timing of flowering in many plants, influencing their reproductive cycle.

When a ferromagnetic material is placed in a magnetic field, it becomes magnetized and can retain its magnetism even after the external field is removed.

Placing a ferromagnetic material inside a solenoid increases the magnetic field due to the material's high magnetic permeability.

Plastic pollution leads to habitat destruction and bioaccumulation of toxins in marine organisms, severely impacting marine ecosystems.

The viscosity of gases increases with an increase in pressure.

For most liquids, increasing pressure tends to increase viscosity, although the effect is generally small.

Reversing the direction of current in a loop of wire reverses the direction of the magnetic field produced by that loop.

Reversing the direction of current in a loop of wire reverses the direction of the magnetic field produced by the loop.

Reversing the direction of current in a loop reverses the direction of the magnetic field produced by the loop.

Reversing the direction of current in a wire reverses the direction of the magnetic field around it.

As the polarizer is rotated, the intensity of the transmitted light varies according to Malus's law, decreasing as the angle increases.

As the polarizer is rotated, the intensity of the transmitted light varies according to the cosine square of the angle between the light's polarization direction and the polarizer's axis.

Electron-donating groups activate the aromatic ring, making it more reactive towards electrophilic substitution.

Substituents can either activate or deactivate the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution, depending on their electron-donating or electron-withdrawing nature.

Surfactants decrease the surface tension of water.

Chemisorption typically decreases with an increase in temperature because it involves the formation of stronger chemical bonds, which are less favorable at higher thermal energies.

Chemisorption typically decreases with an increase in temperature because it involves the formation of stronger chemical bonds, which are less favorable at higher thermal energies.

Temperature can introduce systematic errors, especially if the instrument is not designed to compensate for temperature variations.

Temperature affects the vapor pressure of both the solvent and the solution, generally increasing vapor pressure with temperature.

The effect of temperature on capacitance depends on the dielectric material used in the capacitor.

According to the Nernst equation, the cell potential generally increases with temperature.

As temperature increases, more electrons gain enough energy to jump the band gap, increasing conductivity.

As temperature increases, the conductivity of semiconductors increases due to the generation of more charge carriers.

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles increases, leading to greater disorder and thus higher entropy.

For exothermic reactions, increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left, thus decreasing the equilibrium constant.

For an exothermic reaction, increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left, thus decreasing the value of K.

The magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic material decreases with increasing temperature.

Increasing temperature generally decreases the magnetism of ferromagnetic materials, as thermal agitation disrupts the alignment of magnetic domains.
