Evolutionary<span> thought, the conception that </span>species<span> change over time, has roots in antiquity - in the ideas of the </span>ancient Greeks<span>, </span>Romans<span>, and </span>Chinese<span> as well as in </span>medieval Islamic science<span>. With the beginnings of modern </span>biological taxonomy<span> in the late 17th century, two opposed ideas influenced </span>Western<span> biological thinking: </span>essentialism<span>, the belief that every species has essential characteristics that are unalterable, a concept which had developed from </span>medieval Aristotelian metaphysics<span>, and that fit well with </span>natural theology<span>; and the development of the new anti-Aristotelian approach to </span>modern science<span>: as the </span>Enlightenment<span> progressed, evolutionary </span>cosmology<span> and the </span>mechanical philosophy<span> spread from the </span>physical sciences<span> to </span>natural history<span>. </span>Naturalists<span> began to focus on the variability of species; the emergence of </span>paleontology<span> with the concept of </span>extinction<span> further undermined static views of </span>nature<span>.

Match the description on the right with the force on the left.
Marat540 [252]

Magnetic force - B.

Electrical force - A.

Gravitational force - D.

Contact force - C.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

When a charge moves about its path, it produces a magnetic force around it. This magnetic field is perpendicular to the axis of movement of the charge and is directly proportional to the amount of charge, speed of the charge, and inversely proportional to distance between the charge and the point of measurement. Michael Faraday discovered this phenomenon.

Electrical force of attraction or repulsion is seen between the two charged bodies, or one charged body and one uncharged body which can induce charge to the uncharged body. The attraction or repulsion between the charged bodies are seen if the bodies are close enough, and this is called electrical force.

The gravitational force is also a non contact force that is seen between two bodies which is always attractive in nature and is seen between any two bodies.

A contact force like friction is a type of force that takes place only when two bodies are in contact with each other.

Which of the following structures is most likely to be found in an autotrophic protist?
GenaCL600 [577]

The right answer is the chloroplast.

Autotrophic species must stock up on food in order to have energy at all times.

Plants, for example, through their chloroplasts make sugar with the energy of sunlight and from soil water and carbon dioxide from the air. This sugar synthesis using light is photosynthesis.
