Q: Q: What is the diversity of living things called? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Life on Earth is very diverse. The diversity of living things is called biodiversity . A measure of Earth's biodiversity is the number of different species of organisms that live on Earth. At least 10 million different species live on Earth today. They are commonly grouped into six different kingdoms. Examples of organisms within each kingdom are shown in Figure below . Choices: - degradation - life cycle - ecosystem - biodiversity A:
A: biodiversity

Q: Q: What are the large segments of the earth's crust that ordinarily move very slowly? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Tectonic plates are large segments of the Earth's crust that move slowly. Suppose that one such plate has an average speed of 4.0 cm/year. (a) What distance does it move in 1 s at this speed? (b) What is its speed in kilometers per million years? 10. (a) Refer to Table 1.3 to determine the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. Then calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometers per second. (b) What is this in meters per second?. Choices: - ocean plates - lava plates - distinct plates - tectonic plates A:
A: tectonic plates

Q: Q: The temperature of the box is related to the average speed of what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The temperature of the box is related to the average speed of the molecules. Use momentum principles to relate temperature to pressure. Explain conceptually, in words rather than with equations. Choices: - air - light - earth - molecules A:
A: molecules

Q: Q: The extent to which a substance may be dissolved in water or another solvent is known as what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The extent to which a substance may be dissolved in water, or any solvent, is quantitatively expressed as its solubility, defined as the maximum concentration of a substance that can be achieved under specified conditions. Substances with relatively large solubilities are said to be soluble. A substance will precipitate when solution conditions are such that its concentration exceeds its solubility. Substances with relatively low solubilities are said to be insoluble, and these are the substances that readily precipitate from solution. More information on these important concepts is provided in the text chapter on solutions. For purposes of predicting the identities of solids formed by precipitation reactions, one may simply refer to patterns of solubility that have been observed for many ionic compounds (Table 4.1). Solubilities of Common Ionic Compounds in Water Soluble compounds contain group 1 metal cations (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+). Choices: - humidity - flexibility - turbidity - solubility A:
A: solubility
