Answer;

-Fossil evidence

-Comparative anatomy

-Molecular clocks

Biological evidence of the age of the earth includes fossil evidence, comparative anatomy, and molecular clocks.

Explanation;

-Fossils are critical tools in science because they give us clues to the types of plants and animals that lived on Earth in the past.There are many examples of fossils found on separate continents and nowhere else, suggesting the continents were once joined.

-Comparative anatomy is an important tool that helps determine evolutionary relationships between organisms and whether or not they share common ancestors. However, it is also important evidence for evolution. Anatomical similarities between organisms support the idea that these organisms evolved from a common ancestor.

-Scientists can use relaxed-clock methods to deal with variation in the rate of the molecular clock. By measuring the patterns of evolutionary rate variation among organisms, they can also gain valuable insight into the biological processes that determine how quickly the molecular clock ticks.

The calcium present in the milk acts as a fertilizer, for the growth of pumpkin size.

Explanation:

Scientific answer: Milk contains nutrients, minerals mainly calcium which are good for the growth of the plant as a fertilizer.

Milk gets readily absorbed by the roots due to the solubility of nutrients in milk.

The root hairs of the plant transport the calcium to the other parts like stem.

This will only help when all other factors of plant growth are present as sunlight, water other than fertilizer.

Non-scientific question:

The Hypothesis here is those pumpkin plant fed with milk are bigger on size.

Also injecting stems with milk would cause no good.

Pumpkin plants fed with milk and some plants fed with water are compared, we get the result that giant pumpkins are one that are fed with milk. This is statistical analysis.

You are sorting cards with pictures of organisms and their descriptions into groups. You would place the card with an osprey and

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The osprey card and its description should be placed in the heterotrophs group.

Explanation:

Organisms that can synthesize inorganic substances, such as light, and turn it into food according to their own needs are producers, and they are called autotrophic organisms. These organisms are by excellence all plants, that photosynthesize. Organisms that are incapable of producing their food are called heterotrophic organisms. They depend on other organisms from the trophic chain such as plants or other animals to feed on, so they can get proteins and energy.

In the trophic chain, heterotrophic organisms occupy the first, second or third consumer level, after producers.

There are different types of heterotrophic animals: carnivorous, herbivorous, omnivorous, hematophagous, ichthyophagous, and etcetera. All of them depend on autotrophic organisms.
