Chapter 15, Problem 1QQ
Choose the best answer to etch of the following. Explain your reasoning.
1.Plants and animal are (a) the two major form of life on earth (b) the only organisms that have DNA (c) just too small branches of the tree of life on earth.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The statement that is true about plants and animals.
Answer to Problem 1QQ
Plant and animals form two major forms of life on the surface of the Earth.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The living organism are classified according to their structure and type of cell. The living things are classified into five major kingdoms. These kingdoms are given as:
- Kingdom Monera
- Kingdom Protista
- Kingdom fungi
- Kingdom plantae
- Kingdom Animalia
Option a is: The two major forms of life on Earth
The living things are classified into five kingdoms on Earth. The maximum species out of these are classified under kingdom plantae and kingdom animalia and all other kingdoms represent a small number of living organisms.
Thus, option (a) is correct.
Option b is: The only organism that have DNA.
DNA is an abbreviation used for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. This is present in the nucleus of the cell. All the living organisms on earth possess DNA as their genetic material. So, the kingdom Monera, Protista and Fungi also have DNA.
Thus, option (b) is incorrect.
Option c is: Just two small branches of the tree of the life on Earth.
Animals and plants occupy the maximum section of the living organisms.
Thus, option (c) is incorrect.
Conclusion:
Plants and animals are the two major forms of life on Earth

- Radiocarbon dating is the most common and important absolute dating technique in archaeology. The method has proven invaluable for providing calendar dates for a range of different materials and many different time periods. Radiocarbon dating, however, is not without its limitations and uncertainties, so it is important for archaeologists to be aware of a range of issues when using the technique. For the second part of this assignment, please answer the questions below. 6. List two kinds of archaeological materials can be dated using the radiocarbon method and two that cannot be dated with radiocarbon. 7. In one or two sentences, explain why radiocarbon ages need to be calibrated into calendrical ages? 8. A radiocarbon date on wood charcoal was obtained from Layer N in the stratigraphic profile above. The date has a radiocarbon age of 5500 BP ± 50 yrs and it calibrates to 4450-4260 cal. BC. Burial W in Layer E was also dated and has a radiocarbon age of 5000 BP ± 30, which…arrow_forwardUse a sketch, an equation in addition to your precise and concise description.

- Which of the following is least reasonable regarding the difficulty in contacting extraterrestrial life using space flight and radio communication. Group of answer choices Space flight to the nearest star would take thousands of years with current technology. Even if another intelligent civilization is within a few hundred light-years of us, conversations would be very slow with a turnaround time of decades or even centuries. The spacecraft that NASA sent to Proxima Centauri a few years ago should be approaching its target within a decade or two, depending on solar wind conditions. Earth has been broadcasting at radio wavelengths since the 1930's, so any civilization within a radius of about 100 light-years or so could have received the broadcast by now. Without some major breakthrough, interstellar space flight is totally impractical.arrow_forwardCompletely solve the problem. Box the final answers. WRITE LEGIBLY OR TYPEWRITE THE SOLUTIONS.

- Which of the following seems least reasonable regarding life on Earth? Group of answer choices There is much scientific evidence suggesting that all creatures living on Earth today appear to have evolved from a common ancestor. Louis Pasteur discredited the concept of spontaneous generation by demonstrating that even bacteria and other microorganisms arise from parents resembling themselves. There is ample physical evidence that the earliest life forms on Earth were multicellular creatures, perhaps resembling some of our primitive fish. When the earth formed some 4.6 billion years ago, it was a lifeless, inhospitable place. Before the mid-17th century, most people believed that God had created humankind and other higher organisms and that insects, frogs, and other small creatures could arise spontaneously in mud or decaying matter About billion years into its development, the Earth it was teeming with organisms resembling blue-green algae.arrow_forwardVolume where 1- p2 S.A. side length (1) surface area (3) 1 1.5cm 135 cm 2 1 cm 05cm 0.9 cm 3 4 IMG_0958.JPG of a Cube = fo length of the Volume (V) 6 cm v ✓ 1.5 cm 4.86 cm A ئی 3 3+5 cm² I 1 cm³ 0.125 cm³ 0.729 cm³ A IMG_0953.JPG hp cube 4 G 12 6.667 IMG_0954.JPGarrow_forwardQ1.a).Explain briefly what do you understand about fossil fuelsb). write in your own words on what are the difficulties that will arise with the disposal of nuclear waste.arrow_forward
