Biology

The ability to move is not a characteristic of life.

Option C

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

The characteristics that differentiate a living being from a non-living being are the Characteristics of life. Living beings have these abilities that non-living being do not.

It is very easy to confuse the ability to respond to the environment or stimuli and the ability to move purposefully. Response to the environment would mean being able to adapt oneself according to the environment. Being able to move would not be called a necessity for being alive. For example: Streptococci, a bacteria displays all the characteristics of life. But, it will stay at the same position unless moved externally. The response given by Streptococci towards the environment as its stimuli is to perish or to adapt the environment for its survival. Hence, proving that the ability to move is not a characteristic of life.

Use the information below to answer the following question(s). In a survey, the rate of heavy smokers was reported as 270 per 10
Eddi Din [679]

The probability that neither of them is a heavy smoker is 0.53 or 53%

<h3>What is genetic probability?</h3>

Probability serves to mathematically estimate the possibility of events that happen by chance, that is, as a matter of luck.

In this case:

Probability that selected one is heavy smoker is:

p=270/1000=0.27

Number of individuals selected  is 2 and We know that:

P(X=x)=nc_x(1-p)^{n-x}(p)^x

We need to prove that X=0:

P(X=0)=nc_0(1-0.27)^{2-0}(0.27)^0

P=0.5329

What kind of data cannot be gathered through remote sensing?
Katen [24]

Movement of surface currents

Explanation:

  • Remote sensing is used to gather data regarding Land use-mapping, weather forecasting, environmental study, and resource exploration.
  • In the case of ocean currents, only satellite remote sensors can determine ocean currents synoptically over coastal regions.
  • SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) is also used to determine the ocean currents.
  • The flow patterns of ocean currents are drafted with satellite infrared scanners.
  • Usually, many oceanographers use Radio antenna and high-frequency "Radio detecting and Ranging" for measuring surface ocean currents.

Which of the following describes a phenomenon that occurs when we observe plants that wilt?
ololo11 [35]

The xylem releases all its water when we observe plants that wilt.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wilting is a process where the plant loses its rigidity and droops down. To understand it better the water is absorbed through the roots and aids in the functioning of the plant. The excessive water is stored inside the vacuole when during water scarcity releases water.

But during the drought conditions the water is lost completely causing the leaves to shrink. The xylem starts releasing all its water leaving a less surface area. Hence the leaf shrinks and wilting occurs.
