Answer:
No, not really. Over time, organisms have grown much more complex. Photosynthesis happened around 3.4 billion years ago and respiration around 2 billion years ago. These all serve as a testimony to the fact that organisms are in fact growing more complex. We have seen photoautotrophs arise, from the simpler chemoautotrophs, and they now in fact dominate the array of producers! Organisms don't only do fermentation now; they can also do anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration too! Thus, current life forms are a lot more different today than 3.8 billion years ago.
So it's easier to understand how plants take in carbon-dioxide and how much carbon-dioxide is in the atmosphere
Well living is having life while biotic is pertaining, or produced by life or living organisms. :)
In practice it is enough to simply angle the thermometer towards the direction of the ear canal. More specifically you are trying to target the direction of the tympanic membrane located in the middle ear (one of the parts of the ear; the other parts being outer and inner)
Some maneuvers, although not completely necessary, may include pulling the ear lobe upwards and outwards for babies. This is to straighten the ear canal and is more often done when using otoscopes. For adults, we pull the ear downward and outward.
The first one should be correct
Hope that helped
