B, Genetically modified.
A plant species that develops the ability to excrete salt through the leaves of the plant could survive in soils that have high concentrations of salt.
A rodent species that develops the ability to hibernate, or remain inactive during the winter months, would be able to conserve energy when little food is available.
Which of the following is true?
Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:
"A)Adaptations increase the probability of an organism surviving and reproducing in a specific environment. B)Sudden environmental changes are always necessary for the development of new adaptations. C)The inherited characteristics of a species change over time based on the use or disuse of particular characteristics. D)Adaptations allow individual organisms to change their structures based on environmental conditions."
Answer:
A)Adaptations increase the probability of an organism surviving and reproducing in a specific environment.
Explanation:
The adaptations of living beings do not occur by chance, much less occurred overnight. Throughout the evolutionary process, some organisms have undergone transformations that have given them greater chances of survival in the environment, adjusting morphologically and physiologically to the ecosystem in which they live.
To these transformations, selected by the environment and caused by mutations, we call adaptation, related to the defense mechanism, reproduction, locomotion, food and unfavorable weather conditions.
What is the final speed of the car after this work is performed?
Answer:
9.4 m/s
Explanation:
The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.
So we can write:
where in this problem:
W = -36.733 J is the work performed on the car (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion of the car)
is the initial kinetic energy of the car
is the final kinetic energy
Solving for Kf,
The kinetic energy of the car can be also written as
where:
m = 661 kg is the mass of the car
v is its final speed
Solving, we find
7. Based on the principle of inclusions, the cobbles in conglomerate must have been formed _______ the conglomerate.
8. Geologists use the principle of _______ to justify using fossils in a sample of sedimentary rock to determine the rock’s age.
9. Partings between adjacent beds of sedimentary rock may represent periods of _______, which could range from a few decades to a few centuries.
10. Some graded beds, especially those resulting from deposition by a fast-moving debris flow, are reversed, which means _______ material is at the top instead of at the bottom.
Answer:
Explanation:
5. Limestone typically doesn't accumulate in the ocean at depths below 4,000 meters because below that depth, calcite is ___not preserved ____.
The calcite compensation depth CCD is the depth at which the rate of dissolution of calcite increases beyond that of accumulation.
6. Based on the principle of original horizontality, geologists conclude that layers of sedimentary rock that have been tilted must have been subjected to __tectonic forces_____.
Tectonic forces causes changes in a particle terrain
7. Based on the principle of inclusions, the cobbles in conglomerate must have been formed __earlier than_____ the conglomerate.
The principle of inclusion states that the inclusion is older than the rock that contains it.
8. Geologists use the principle of __fossil and fauna succession _____ to justify using fossils in a sample of sedimentary rock to determine the rock’s age.
The principle of fossil and fauna succession was credited to Williams Smith and it is used for relative dating of a sedimentary sequence. Here, fossils of plants and animals are used to date a sequence.
9. Partings between adjacent beds of sedimentary rock may represent periods of __unconformity _____, which could range from a few decades to a few centuries.
An unconformity is a period of non-depsotion or erosion within a rock layer.
10. Some graded beds, especially those resulting from deposition by a fast-moving debris flow, are reversed, which means ___the oldest____ material is at the top instead of at the bottom.
From the principle of superposition of strata, we know that the oldest layer is at the bottom of the sequence and the youngest is on top.

3. A 2-kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 10 m/s on the ground. Circle one: KE / GPE / both Show your work for finding the values of each type of energy the object has:
1. A 1,000-kg car has 50,000 joules of kinetic energy. What is its speed?
2. A 200-kg boulder has 39,200 joules of gravitational potential energy. What height is it at?
3. A 1-kg model airplane has 12.5 joules of kinetic energy and 98 joules of gravitational potential energy. What is its speed? What is its height?
Answer:
Explanation:
The force of gravity is the physical force exerted by the mass of a planet on the objects that are within its gravitational field. In other words, this law establishes that bodies, by simply having mass, experience a force of attraction to other bodies with mass.
The force of gravity depends on the mass of each object. The force with which two objects are attracted is proportional to their mass and decreases rapidly with distance:
where G is the universal gravitation constant, whose value is
G=6.673*10⁻¹¹
This expression indicates that the gravitational force that a point mass M exerts on another point mass m that is at a distance r from the previous one is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances that separates them.
Given the above, it is possible to say that two reasons why we feel the Earth's gravity more strongly than the moon's gravity are:
This causes the force exerted by the Earth on us to be much greater.
1). The Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the Moon has.
2). The Earth is closer to many of us than the Moon is.
