Romanesque architecture is characterized by thick walls, small windows, and rounded arches, contrasting with the later Gothic style.

Photosynthesis is a characteristic feature of the kingdom Plantae, as plants are autotrophic and produce their own food using sunlight.

Viruses have a protein coat (capsid) and lack cellular structure and metabolism, requiring a host to reproduce.

+M effect is characterized by electron donation through resonance, enhancing stability.

Bases typically have a bitter taste and turn litmus paper blue.

Basic solutions feel slippery due to the presence of hydroxide ions.

A black body is defined as an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence.

A buffer solution is designed to resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added.

A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction, thereby increasing the rate.

A converging series approaches a finite limit as more terms are added.

Crystalline solids have a definite melting point due to their ordered structure.

A diagonal matrix has non-zero elements only on its diagonal, while all off-diagonal elements are zero.

A diode allows current to flow in one direction only, making it a unidirectional device.

Double displacement reactions can result in the formation of a gas, a precipitate, or involve the exchange of ions.

In a first-order reaction, the rate is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactant.

A fuel cell converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy without combustion.

A good cloning vector should have a high copy number to ensure that multiple copies of the inserted gene are produced within the host cell.

A linear equation in two variables always forms a straight line when graphed.

A liquid in a closed container has a fixed volume but can exert pressure.

In equilibrium, a liquid maintains constant density, temperature, and pressure.

A mixed economy features the coexistence of both private and public sectors, allowing for a balance between free market and government intervention.

A Newtonian fluid has a constant viscosity regardless of the shear rate applied.

Non-Newtonian fluids exhibit a change in viscosity with varying shear rates, unlike Newtonian fluids which have a constant viscosity.

A polar orbiting satellite passes over the poles, allowing it to cover the entire surface of the Earth over time.

Polynomial functions are continuous and smooth, meaning they do not have breaks, holes, or sharp corners.

A real-time operating system is characterized by its deterministic response time, ensuring timely processing of inputs.

Redox reactions are characterized by the transfer of electrons between species.

A reversible cell can be recharged, allowing it to be used multiple times.

Semiconductors have zero conductivity at absolute zero and their conductivity increases with temperature.

Solids have a definite shape, definite volume, and are generally incompressible.
