As defined already, the force that produces 1 m/sec 2 acceleration on 1 kilogram mass is called as 1 Newton. This unit is recognized as SI unit. Since, forces are also measured in other types of units, a necessity arises to express all such units in equivalent to Newton unit of force.
AS stands for Associate of Science, a 2-year degree.
These letters are acronyms for enzymes â proteins inside of cells. AST for example stands for aspartate amino transferase. This enzyme used to be called serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (SGOT), hence the two names. ALT = amino alanine transferase, GGTP= gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, and AP= alkaline phosphatase.
