A base unit (also referred to as a fundamental unit) is a unit adopted for measurement of a base quantity. A base quantity is one of a conventionally chosen subset of physical quantities, where no quantity in the subset can be expressed in terms of the others. The International System of Units (SI), commonly known as the metric system, is the international standard for measurement. ... The SI is made up of 7 base units that define the 22 derived units with special names and symbols. The units and their physical quantities are the second for time, the metre for measurement of length, the kilogram for mass, the ampere for electric current, the kelvin for temperature, the mole for amount of substance, and the candela for luminous intensity. The various features and future prospects of the International System of Units (SI) are described. The SI is based on seven selected base units, corresponding to the seven quantities such as length, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity. Units are of two types: Fundamental units. Derived units. or powering the base units in various combinations, For example:
mechanical work is force applied multiplied by distance moved and has the unit newton metre written as Nm.
speed is distance divided by time and has the unit metre per second written as ms. The three measures are descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive. Descriptive is the most basic form of measurement.

What os the term for the smallest bit into which chemical substance can be divided and still have the properties of that substan
Ostrovityanka [42]

That's a molecule of the substance.  You can break the molecule down further, into the atoms that make it up, but those don't have the properties of the original  'compound'.

Here's an example:

-- Sodium is a soft, slippery metal, that explodes when water touches it.

-- Chlorine is a poisonous green gas.

When an atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine combine, they make one molecule of a substance called "Sodium Chloride".  That's SALT !  It isn't green, it isn't a gas, it isn't poisonous, it isn't soft and slippery, and it doesn't explode when water touches it.

How are the three cell layers of an embryo related to its development?
Andru [333]
The said development of the cell where the three cell layers help out do it is called as Gastrulation. The three layers - called as ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm - tend to form as this happens. This is a process that's present in all living things except sponges.

Which equation is most likely used to determine the acceleration from a velocity vs:time graph?
tresset_1 [31]
Acceleration, a =  (v - u)/t

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, and t is the time.

This formula on a velocity time graph represents the slope of the graph.
