Answer:
1. Newton believed that gravity was a force.
3. The law of universal gravitation offers a mathematical explanation for the attraction between the moon and Earth.
Explanation:
Law of gravitation states that force is directly proportional to masses of objects and inversely proportional to the distance between from their center. Directly means if mass increases, force of attraction also increased while inversely means if distance decrease between objects, force of attraction is also increased. Gravity is measured in weight because weight ia a force which attracts things towards its center.
The correct answer is (c.) Animal-like protists differ from plant-like protists as the animal-like ones are heterotrophic in nature, whereas the plant-like protists are autotrophic. Heterotrophic is an organism in which uses carbon for growth and autotrophic is an organism in which produces complex organic compounds.
Most likely a silent mutation. Silent mutations are mutations in DNA that do not have an observable effect on the organism's phenotype because the same amino acid is produced regardless of the change in the nucleotide sequence by the mutation.
5 desert animals are camel, sand cat, desert tortoises, desert lizards and the great road runner.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Camel has several physiological and behavioral adaptations that help them survive the extreme conditions of the desert. They have flat feet to help them spread their weight in the sand.
- They have thick eyelashes and closeable nostrils to prevent the entry of sand. They store fat on their humps that supplies energy during long journeys and has a long large intestine which increases water reabsorption.
- Sand cat is similar to the domestic cat in basic appearance but has several adaptations enabling it to survive in the desert. Their paws are covered with thick and long hairs to protect the feet from the heat. They have thick fur that acts as an insulting surface during hot days and cold nights.
- Desert tortoises have excellent water storage capacity. Their bladders are larger than normal and can carry extra water. They have strong feet which helps them to dig holes in the sand and access rainwater.
- Desert lizards can drink water through skin. They do it by a process called cutaneous water acquisition and it helps them to gather water obtained from rainfall, damp sand and pools.
- Great roadrunner has peculiar adaptations. The digestive system of the bird retrieves water from the feces as it is in the excretory canal.
