Scientists are examining the possible role of a large asteroid in the Cretaceous mass extinction event. A large asteroid strike

would likely have caused rapid climate cooling and diffusion of sunlight.
Which of the following statements are the best null and alternative hypotheses when scientists look at the geologic evidence of extinction related to the asteroid strike?

A) Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately before the asteroid strike.
B) Null: The rate of extinction would gradually decrease over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be at its lowest immediately after the asteroid strike.
C) Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately after the asteroid strike.
D) Null: The rate of extinction would gradually decrease over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be at its greatest immediately after the asteroid strike.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The null hypothesis is the problem statement and alternative hypothesis is counter of the null hypothesis.

Hence, the null hypothesis here is the rate of extinction was neither higher nor lower when there were sudden climatic changes (asteroid strike)

And alternate hypothesis is "the rate of extinction was either higher or lower when there were sudden climatic changes (asteroid strike)"

Hence, option C is correct

. While Carl Linnaeus catalogued nearly all known organisms of his day, which major group of organisms did he not account for in
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Single-cell organisms

Explanation:

In 1735, Linnaeus introduced a classification system with only two kingdoms: animals and plants. Linnaeus published this system for naming, ranking, and classifying organisms in the book "Systema Naturae". In the epoch that Linnaeus created this system, single-cell organisms such as bacteria and protists were almost unknown. In 1866, E. Haeckel added a category including both bacteria and protozoa, thereby adding a category formed by single-cell organisms (different from animals and plants). During the 1900-1920 period, bacteria were classified as a separated kingdom named 'prokaryotes'. The current three-domain classification system was introduced by C. Woese in 1990. In this system, all forms of life are divided into three different domains: archaea, bacteria, and eukaryote domains (this last composed of protists, fungi, plants and animals).

36. how can you increase surface area but not volume of an object? biology
solong [7]
Folds, wrinkles, etc!
by folding the membrane of an organelle, surface area is optimized while volume remains the same. that is why mitochondria looks folded on the inside when you see pictures of it. the higher the surface area to volume ratio, the more efficient the organelle.
