Answer and explanation;

-Accuracy is the closeness of measured value to correct value, while precision is the closeness of measured value to other measured values .

- It so important for measurements in an experiment to be accurate and precise because you need to get accurate and precisise results.

-If your measuring instrument always gives values that are closely grouped - precise - they will be of little value if the calibration of the equipment is such that the measured values are not correct - accurate. Similarly, if the equipment is calibrated correctly but your measurements vary wildly you will not know which measurement, if any, is correct.

The reason they have to be so accurate and precise is because, let's say you were doing a lab or something that was involving chemicals. If you had to put a certain amount of chemicals in your experiment, but when you were doing to the math, you messed up and didn't go back and even bother to fix it, that is a really BIG issue. Because something will probably happen to your chemicals because you might have added to much of something into it. So that's why you always have to be so precise and accurate!

How do fossils provide evidence to support the theory of the evolution of earth?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Fossils provide direct evidence of evolution. They show the changes of animals from ancient organisms to present form. Fossils are the preserved remains of earth layers. There are 4 types of fossils-

Original fossils that are not very old.  e.g. teeth, skeleton, shells.

Frozen fossils

less permanent fossils

casts, molds,  and prints - wings, skin, leaves, etc.

The fossils show the adaptive radiation in horses, humans. The transition fossils form the connecting link between different groups such as fish and amphibians, reptiles and birds, etc.  

e.g. Archeopteryx is the connecting link between the reptiles and birds.

The modern horse Equus have several ancestor species, we came to know from the fossil records.

The fossil record shows the evolution of humans and their ancestors.

All of these are TCS foods except answer choices Raw chicken Sliced melons Raw unwashed asparagus Cooked rice
tia_tia [17]

All of these are TCS foods except Raw unwashed asparagus.

While any food can serve as a host for pollutants, some foods are more conducive to the development of infections than others. These are TCS foods.

In order to stop germs from growing, food must get through the temperature risk zone quickly. The food must be cooled from 135°F to 70°F in just two hours, then to 41°F or lower in the following four hours.

Food must be discarded or reheated and then cooled again if 70°F is not attained in two hours. No more than six hours may pass during the entire cooling process.

As long as the meal was properly prepared and cooled before reheating, it can be served right away at any temperature.

To learn more about TCS foods refer to:
