Based on my observations, the earth rotates from west to east about the axis of rotation. The counter-clockwise rotation of the earth is as viewed from the North Pole star Polaris.
My observations supporting the counter-clockwise rotation of the earth are:
- The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
- All celestial objects including the stars and the moon rise in the east and set in the west.
The rotation is the result of the strong geomagnetic field of the earth. It is also responsible for the formation of day and night on the planet.

Answer:
eagle- chordata phylum
ladybud- Insecta class
scorpian- Arachnida class
lobster- Crustacea class
snail- Mollusca phylum
Explanation:
The organism that contains a notochord at some of its life cycle stage are called chordates and all vertebrates are chordates so eagle comes under phylum Chordata.
Insecta is the largest class of phylum Arthropoda which contains organisms which have jointed legs, exoskeleton and segmented body for example ladybird, playing mantis, etc.
Arachnids are animals which have jointed legs and in this class spider are the largest order which contains scorpions, mites, ticks, etc.
Crustaceans are invertebrates which have hard shell made up of calcium for example lobster, prawn, shrimp, etc.
Mollusks are very large invertebrate phylum which contains a soft segmented body that is usually present inside a shell made up of calcium. for example snails.
Answer:
The correct option is b
Explanation:
Phospholipids are lipids that contains a phosphate group, which forms the "head" of the molecule and is hydrophilic (water loving). The "tail" of phospholipids is made of two fatty acids which are hydrophobic (water fearing). The phospholipid in the cell membrane acts as a selectively permeable barrier that regulates what goes in and out of the cell <u>thereby protecting the cell from some external molecules and ions</u>.
1. Answer: C
Explanation: Species that are inclined to clumping means they are more likely to cooperate in tasking such as gathering food. However, evenly distributed population means there is competition between individuals hence the need to their own space and territory from the other individual.
2. Answer: B
Explanation: While the clumped up populations may be inclined to cooperate in tasks such as food gathering, such distribution results to increases intraspecies competition especially during scarcity. This is because the individuals are close together – which is also advantageous during mating season.
3. Answer: A
Explanation: Type 3 survivorship curve is characterized by a high mortality rate early in the life of the species which gradually progresses to a low mortality rate for the individuals that survive the early stages of life. These species, therefore, bear a lot of offspring most of which will not make to adulthood.
4. Answer: B
Explanation: If the death rate of a population is higher than the birth+ immigration rate, then the population must be decreasing. This can be demonstrated by a growth curve of a population such as that of bacteria. The population starts decreasing due to increased competition for reduced resources after reaching carrying capacity - depicted by the stationary phase.
