There was no life on Earth for the first billion years because the atmosphere was not suitable for life. Earth's first atmosphere had lots of water vapor but had almost no oxygen. Later, frequent volcanic eruptions put several different gases into the air.

What are the two autotrophic forms of metabolism

cricket20 [7]

Autotrophic behaviour depends on the ability of the cell to carry out photosynthetic or aerobic respiratory metabolism, which are the only processes able to deliver sufficient energy to maintain carbon fixation. The Calvin cycle is used by bacteria to synthesize organic compounds.

Please help me answer this its for a module 7 biology review

GREYUIT [131]

1. the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle
2. I am not sure
3. Earth's mantle contained convection cells that dissipated radioactive heat and moved the crust at the surface
4. supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.
5. the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth (the lithosphere) is divided into a couple of dozen "plates" that move around across the earth's surface relative to each other, like slabs of ice on a lake.
6. Africa and South America.
7. I am not sure
8. a small area or region with a relatively hot temperature in comparison to its surroundings.
9. As the plate moves over a fixed spot deeper in the Earth where magma (molten lava) forms, a new volcano can punch through this plate and create an island. The Hawaiian Islands are believed to be formed from one such 'hot spot'.

Which of the following relationships is an example of a mutualism

puteri [66]

Mutualism- in which two different organisms interact, and each organism benefits each other (think "positive, positive"; or " +,+ "). An example would be Oxpeckers and zebras or rhinos - In this relationship, the oxpecker (a bird) lives on the zebra or rhino, sustaining itself by eating all of the bugs and parasites on the animal. The bird benefits by having a readily available source of food. The zebra or rhino benefits from having the bugs removed. Also, when there is a danger to the zebra or the rhino, the oxpecker flies high and makes much noise in order to alert nearby animals to the impending danger (i.e. a predator).
