Consider the cooling curve above. The substance is changing state from a gas to a liquid to a solid. As the temperature changes

we also know that
A) there is a decrease in molecular attraction and kinetic energy.

B) there is a decrease in kinetic energy and the molecules get closer together.

C) kinetic energy increases while potential energy decreases during the phase changes.

D) although the molecules get closer together, there is no real change in the energy of the molecules.

Answer: B)  there is a decrease in kinetic energy and the molecules get closer together.

Explanation: Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature, thus as temperature decreases, kinetic energy also decreases.

Gas is the state of matter in which particles are very loosely bound and hence can easily move past one another very easily and have highest kinetic energy.

Liquid is the state of matter in which particles are loosely bound and hence can move past one another easily and have high kinetic energy.

Solid is the state of matter in which particles are tightly bound and hence can not move easily and have low kinetic energy.

Thus on moving from gaseous to solid state, the kinetic energy decreases and the molecules get closer together.

Vestigial traits are adaptations to environmental pressures which are no longer present.

homologous structures are similar structures found in different species that were present in a common ancestor.

analogous traits are similar traits found in different species that were developed independently (this process is known as convergent evolution)

Describe some characteristics used to group organisms into different kingdoms?
Olenka [21]

Three of the major characteristics used to classify organisms are cell structure, mode of nutrition and cellularity. These characteristics help scientists determine how organisms are similar to each other as well as how they are different from each other.

Classifying an organism according to its cell structure means determining if it is a prokaryote or eukaryote and then determining if the organism has a cell wall or other organelles, according to Dave Krupp of the University of Hawaii .

Mode of nutrition refers to how an organism gets its food. Organisms can be classified as autotrophs or heterotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food, while heterotrophs must eat other organisms to survive. If an organism is an autotroph, it can also be classified as a photoautotroph or a chemoautotroph. Stephen T. Abedon of Ohio State explains that photoautotrophs produce their own food using energy from sunlight. Chemoautotrophs produce food using the energy from electron-donating compounds.

Cellularity refers to how many cells an organism has and how those cells are arranged. Some organisms are single-celled, while others are multicellular. Advanced organisms have cells organized into tissues.
