The Florissant Fossil Beds in Colorado are home to several massive redwood stumps that were subjected to a special kind of fossilization millions of years ago. What service could these fossilized stumps most likely provide? (Worth 15 points)
Please answer ASAP
1. tourism
2. shelter
3. lumber
4. soil creation
The most likely service that these fossilized stumps could provide is tourism. Since they are rare and significant specimens of ancient plant life, they attract visitors from all over the world who are interested in paleontology and natural history. While they may have been useful for lumber or shelter in the past, they are now protected as part of a national monument and cannot be harvested or used for those purposes. As for soil creation, while the presence of the stumps and associated plant and animal fossils can provide insights into past ecosystems and environmental conditions, they do not actively contribute to the creation of new soil.
Because global temperatures are ________[1], some species are seeking out ______[2] elevations in the Himalayas to colonize. Scientists were worried that these organisms would not have enough _______[3] to live, but they have found that there is adequate ________[4] at higher elevations. This movement may help these organisms survive the effects of ______[5].
Daily Biology Question! :)
Answer:
increasing[1], higher[2], space[3], food[4], climate change[5].
Explanation:
Because global temperatures are increasing[1], some species are seeking out higher[2] elevations in the Himalayas to colonize. Scientists were worried that these organisms would not have enough space[3] to live, but they have found that there is adequate food[4] at higher elevations. This movement may help these organisms survive the effects of climate change[5].
(Although am positive about 1, 2 and 5, you will need to double check 3 and 4. What I can tell you is that I don't think lifespan has to do with 3 or 4. I chose space and food simply due to the thought that more species moving to higher elevations allows for less space to live, but more prey to be hunted easier.)

Which light produces the most glucose in the plant? (remember that glucose is a food product (sugar) made during photosynthesis in a plant.)
blue
green
yellow
red
Answer: Red light
Explanation: Plants absorbed white light best than any other light, however, red light is better light than other lights after the white light due to its long wavelength and the right amount of energy to excite or stimulate the electrons of the light center of the chlorophyll and transit to a higher energy level which increases the rate of photosynthesis.
Red light is a light with a longer wavelength which helps in radiate and heat the chlorophyll than its counterpart. A high rate of photosynthesis results in more glucose production.

The picture shows a Single-celled organism that has a nucleus and organelles, lacks a cell wall, and obtains food by eating other organisms. The organism also has cilia that it uses to move through water. Which kingdom should this organism be classified?
Science
Protista
Protists are single-celled and usually move by cilia, flagella, or by amoeboid mechanisms. There is usually no cell wall, although some forms may have a cell wall. They have organelles including a nucleus and may have chloroplasts, so some will be green and others won't be. They are small, although many are big enough to be recognized in a dissecting microscope or even with a magnifying glass. Nutrients are acquired by photosynthesis, ingestion of other organisms, or both.

How do auxins cause plants to bend?
A) Auxins make plant cells grow larger towards the light causing it to bend.
B) Auxins make plant cells grow heavier causing it to tip on one side.
C) Auxins cause plants to grow wider.
D) Auxins cause plant cells to shrink on one side making it less heavy, which tips the plant on the other side.
Answer:A) Auxins make plant cells grow larger towards the light causing it to bend.
Answer:
A.
Auxins make plant cells grow larger towards the light causing it to bend.
Explanation:
The auxins go more in the shady side, and that is why there are more auxins in the shady side, but in the illuminated side, there are less auxins. That will cause a bend in the growth of the plant towards the light source because the shady side has more auxins to make it grow. This is the reason why when there are auxins in a plant, they start to grow towards light.

how does evaporating from the oceans change the salinity of the water?
Answer:Water evaporates, salt does not. When water evaporates, the salt stays behind while the water leaves into the atmosphere; making the ocean more saline.
Explanation:
Evaporating from the oceans change the salinity of the water as evaporation takes water into the atmosphere and salt remains in the oceans, thus increasing the salinity of the water.
What is evaporation?Evaporation is the process in which the water evaporates in the form of vapor to the sky. It is a part of the water cycle. It takes water from the rivers or oceans and in the atmosphere, it makes clouds that fell down in the form of rain.
Thus, evaporation increases the salinity of water by taking the water from the atmosphere, and the quantity of salt increases in the ocean.

How are species impacted when humans destroy their habitat? Give at least one example of a species that is being affected by humans
Answer: Polar Bears
Explanation: Global warming is making the earth warmer and humans are behind it. People drive cars which releases C02 into the air. This makes the earth warmer. Polar Bears are affected by it because their habitat is melting away.
Answer:
There are many species on earth but they go extinct quick due to people destroying their habitats. Animals like squirrels, birds, rodents, and other forest dwelling creatures are being affected through clearing of land for agriculture. Forests are ripped apart and removed so people can build homes and city’s all over the world.
Look at the diagram of the rock cycle below.
Which part of the cycle is missing?
A.
sedimentation
B.
melting
C.
crystallization
D.
mineral integration
From the diagram of the rock cycle the missing part is ( B ) ; Melting
Magma is a hot liquid/semi-liquid rock that is usually formed under the earth due to high pressure and temperature present in the inner core of the earth. magma is obtained by the melting down of existing rocks ( Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks ) under high pressure and temperature in the earths core.
Magma is released to the earth surfaces during volcanoes therefore the missing term in the rock cycle is melting
Hence we can conclude that from the diagram of the rock cycle the missing part is Melting.

What is the ethical value of using a model organism, such as zebrafish for doing marine research on pathogens?
The organism can prevent diseases from being transmitted from one species to another, thereby reducing fish mortality.
The organism is immune to all diseases, so the effectiveness of new treatments can be studied over long periods of time.
The organism produces chemicals that can be extracted for use as antibiotics, so they are economically important.
The organism shares its physiology with humans, so testing of new drugs can be done without hurting people.
