Answer:
All are true of the movement of Earth's atmosphere except :
d. Warm air is less dense than cool air so it tends to sink towards the Earth's Surface.
Explanation:
- When gases heat up, their volume increases and density decrease.
- A decrease in density causes a substance to become lighter.
- Thus, when air warms up due to heat from the sun its density decreases and it gets lighter.
- So, it will move up.
- The Cooler air in turn is denser and heavier so it will sink towards the Earth's surface.
- Hence, the statement d , which states that 'warm air is less dense than cool air so in tends to sink towards the Earth's Surface' is FALSE.
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.
