A bird stalks, kills, and then eats an insect. Based on its behavior, which pair of ecological terms describes the bird?
herbivore, decomposer
producer, heterotroph
carnivore, consumer
autotroph, herbivore
Answer: Carnivore, consumer
Explanation:
The carnivores are the animals that feed on the smaller organism for their energy. They can be as small as a bird and as bid as a lion.
Consumers are the organism that feed on the producers for their energy needs. Here, the bird is omnivores that feed on insect as well as on plants for their energy needs.
A bird feeding on insect is an example of consumer, carnivore.

How do the mitochondria and vacuole work together?
Mitochondria and vacuoles perform distinct roles within a cell, with the mitochondria providing energy through cellular respiration, and the vacuoles storing water, nutrients, and waste and maintaining the shape of the cell. The energy provided by the mitochondria is critical for the function of the vacuoles, and indeed all other parts of the cell.
Explanation:The mitochondria and vacuole in a cell carry out distinct but interconnected roles. The mitochondria, often called the 'powerhouse of the cell', is where cellular respiration occurs. This process converts energy stored in nutrient molecules such as glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a form of energy that the cell can use.
On the other hand, vacuoles serve as a storage and transport system. They not only store water, nutrients, and waste products, but also help in maintaining the shape of the cell. In plants, enzymes within vacuoles can break down macromolecules. Some vacuoles, known as contractile vacuoles, can excrete excess water and waste from the cell through a process called endocytosis, where the vacuoles merge with the cell membrane and expel waste into the environment.
While their functions may seem separate, the energy provided by the mitochondria is critical for the function of the vacuoles, and indeed all other parts of the cell. Thus, the mitochondria and vacuoles work together to ensure the cell can function and survive.

The taxonomic reference for raccoons is Eukarya, Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Carnivora, Procyonidae, Procyon, lotor.
Raccoons belong to which family?
A.
Procyonidae
B.
Animalia
C.
Mammalia
D.
Carnivora
Raccoons belong to the family Procyonidae. This family is part of a hierarchical taxonomic classification system used in biology to organize and understand relationships between organisms.
Explanation:The raccoons belong to the family Procyonidae. This classification is part of the taxonomic hierarchy, which categorizes living organisms in a ranked structure from broad to specific. The hierarchy includes the domain Eukarya, followed by the kingdom Animalia, the phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, and then progresses to the order Carnivora. Within this order, we find the family Procyonidae, which includes the genus Procyon, and finally the species lotor, signifying the common raccoon with the scientific name Procyon lotor. Taxonomic classification is important in biology as it helps scientists organize and understand the relationships between different organisms. Each level of classification from kingdom down to species is referred to as a taxon.
1. Which of the following is not a
contributing factor to the uneven
warming of Earth’s surface?
Select one:
a. Different surfaces warm at different
rates.
b. The Sun is farther from Earth during
the winter.
c. The Sun’s ray hit the surface at
different angles
d. Different surfaces retain energy
differently.
The option that does not contribute to Earth's uneven warming is 'The Sun is farther from Earth during the winter.' The other options relate to how sunlight interacts with Earth's surface and atmosphere, which are true contributors to the uneven warming of the Earth.
Explanation:The student asks which factor does not contribute to the uneven warming of Earth's surface. The incorrect option among those provided is b. The Sun is farther from Earth during the winter. While it's true that Earth's orbit is elliptical and the distance from the Sun changes slightly over the year, this variation is not significant enough to cause the seasons or affect the uneven warming of the Earth's surface. Instead, the uneven warming is mainly due to the other three factors: different surfaces warming at different rates, the Sun's rays hitting the surface at different angles, and different surfaces retaining energy differently. The way the Sun's rays strike Earth varies depending on factors like the angle and duration of sunlight, which are influenced by Earth's tilt and position in its orbit around the Sun. During summer, for example, the Sun's rays hit the Earth more directly, causing more intense and concentrated warming.
Which materials are included in the hydrosphere that are not in liquid form?
A.
rainforests and lakes
B.
glaciers and polar ice caps
C.
rocks and minerals
D.
lakes and rivers
The right answer is B. glaciers and polar ice caps.
The hydrosphere is the part of the globe occupied by water (or ice). it includes oceans, rivers, lakes, glaciers, polar ice caps...
Glaciers and polar ice caps are the only solid elements in the hydrosphere (rocks and minerals are not part of the hydrosphere but the lithosphere).
The hydrosphere includes materials that are not in liquid form, such as glaciers and polar ice caps, which are the largest stores of fresh water, greater than groundwater, lakes, and streams.
Explanation:The materials included in the hydrosphere that are not in liquid form are glaciers and polar ice caps. These represent significant stores of freshwater and are part of the Earth's hydrosphere, even though they are in solid form. The largest store of fresh water in the hydrosphere is not the ocean, but rather glaciers and ice caps, followed by groundwater. The majority of Earth's freshwater is locked up in these reservoirs, vastly more than what is found in lakes and streams.

The solubility of a solute is the largest amount of solute that can dissolve in a certain quantity of __________.
solute
liquid
solvent
solution
In a chemical reaction, products must equal __________.
elements
molecules
reactants
atoms
1. The right answer is Solvent
The term "solution" would not be applicable here because it designates the solute + the solvent ".
In chemistry we prefer to use the term solvent rather than liquid.
The solubility of a compound can be defined as follows: a maximum amount (g or mole) of solute dissolved in 1 liter of saturated solution according to precise conditions of temperature, nature of the solvent and the solute.
2. The right answer is Reactant.
During a chemical transformation the atoms of the reagents combine in different ways to form the products but no atom disappears or does not appear so the total mass does not change.
During a chemical transformation, the total mass of the disappeared reagents is equal to the total mass of products formed.
Answer:
#1 - The answer would be Solvent
#2 - The answer would be Reactants

Paisley wants to prepare a graph of the rate of growth of a lentil seedling. Which factors would be the independent and dependent variables? The height of the lentil seedling would be an independent variable and the length of the leaves the dependent variable. The height of the lentil seedling would be an independent variable and the time passed would be the dependent variable. The time passed would be an independent variable and the height of the lentil seedling would be the dependent variable. NextReset
Answer:
The time passed would be an independent variable and the height of the lentil seedling would be the dependent variable.
Explanation:
The actual variable a researcher sets out to measure during the course of a research is the dependent variable. It is measured to determine how its response to variation in the independent variable.
The independent variable is the one that is usually manipulated or changed during the course of a research or experiment. The effect it creates is determined by measuring the dependent variable.
Hence, in a graph of growth rate of a plant, a growth measuring factor (such as height, number of leaves, branching, etc.) serves as the dependent variable while time will serve as the independent variable.
Therefore, in the case of Paisely, the height of the lentil seedling would be a dependent variable and the time passed would be the independent variable.

What is the angle supplementary to the angle measuring 165°?
Final answer:
The angle supplementary to an angle measuring 165° is 15°.
Explanation:
The angle supplementary to an angle measuring 165° is the angle that, when added to 165°, will result in a sum of 180°. Since supplementary angles add up to 180°, we can subtract 165° from 180° to find the measure of the supplementary angle.
180° - 165° = 15°.
Therefore, the angle supplementary to the angle measuring 165° is 15°.
which is predicted by the theory of special creation?
a. species change by adaptation to their environment
B. fossils should show differences in species as they change over time
C. vestigial organs should be similar to functional forms in ancestral species
d. there should be no nonfunctional structures in organisms perfectly adapted to their environment ...?
The theory of special creation predicts that there should be no nonfunctional structures in perfectly adapted organisms, contrasting with evolutionary theory which supports adaptation and change over time.
The theory of special creation predicts that there should be no nonfunctional structures in organisms perfectly adapted to their environment. This viewpoint is based on the belief that each species was created individually and perfectly suited to its environment from the outset, making the idea of vestigial organs or structures unnecessary according to this theory. In contrast, evolutionary theory, supported by evidence such as the presence of vestigial structures and fossils indicating gradual changes in species over time, suggests that organisms do change and adapt through natural selection and shared ancestry.
Which statements are true of a white dwarf?
A) It has a red shell.
B) It is the result of the core collapse of a low-mass star that sheds its outer layers.
C) It emits massive amounts of light compared with other stars.
D) It strongly attracts all matter or energy that comes near it.
E) It cools down to become a black dwarf.
During the winter time, the total number of hours of sunlight decreases. What effect would this have on the process of photosynthesis?
A) The rate of photosynthesis would decrease and less glucose would be produced.
B) The rate of photosynthesis would increase and more glucose would be produced.
C) The amount of available sunlight does not influence the rate of photosynthesis.
D) It would have no effect on plants having needles instead of leaves, that stay green all year long.
Answer: A) The rate of photosynthesis would decrease and less glucose would be produced.
Explanation: Photosynthesis is a phenomenon in which green plants containing chlorophyll use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to form glucose and oxygen.
Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to convert energy from sunlight and turn it into chemical energy in the form of glucose which is used a s a source of energy by many organisms.
[tex]6CO_2+6H_2O\overset{sunlight}\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2[/tex]
Thus decreasing the amount of sunlight would decrease the rate of photosynthesis and less glucose will be produced.

The Earth consists of a variety of different organisms. Despite their diversity, however, some similarities on the structural and metabolic levels may be seen. These similarities can be attributed to
The right answer is it can be attributed to similarities among organisms in proteins and nucleic acids (especially in their coding regions in their genome).
Genomes consist of coding regions, which correspond to genes, and non-coding regions. The coding part is the one that gives the proteins that are involved in the structure and metabolism of the individuals. if two individuals have a similar protein-giving genome, then they will probably have the same structure and metabolism.
Which of the following statements is true about scientific theories?
A. Scientific theories become scientific laws.
B. Scientific theories are never proven.
C. Scientific theories become hypotheses.
D. Scientific theories summarize patterns found in nature
Answer: D. Scientific theories summarize patterns found in nature.
A scientific theory is a model that explains the facts about nature on the basis of observations, experimentation and reasoning. A scientific theory can be proved by scientific methods involving procedures, measurements, observations and evaluation of results. Therefore, a scientific theory validate the facts of nature and summerizes patterns found in nature.
