Olenka [21]3 years ago

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.

How do enzymes in your body make chemical reactions occur at safe temperatures?
koban [17]
They can ensure that chemical reactions occur in safe temperature by only speeding up the reaction in optimum temperate range.
If the temperature is too low, the enzymes may be inactive, and the chemical reactions may be slow.
If the temperature is too high, the enzyme would be denatured and it can no longer function as a biological catalysts.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Weight of the soil (500g)

Explanation:

According to this question, some students are conducting an experiment in order to find out which of the different soils used absorb heat the fastest. For the first test, they put 500 grams of SAND in a beaker and put a thermometer in the sand.

In an experiment, the variables that must be kept constant for all the groups is called the CONSTANT OR CONTROLLED VARIABLE. This is done in order not to influence the outcome of the experiment. In this case, the weight (500g) of the soil should be kept the same for all other tests.

This means that for the remaining soil being tested, 500g of each type of soil should be used.

Do you agree with the theory that global warming might cause an ice age? Why or why not?
Anit [1.1K]

Yes. Greenhouse gasses make it hard for heat to leave the atmosphere, but also hard for heat to enter the atmosphere. So once the heat is gone, it will be hard for earth to warm up again, thus causing an ice age
