Answer the following question given this paragraph: Paleontology, another branch of biology, uses fossils to study life's history (Figure 1.12). Zoology and botany are the study of animals and plants, respectively. Biologists can also specialize as biotechnologists, ecologists, or physiologists, to name just a few areas. Biotechnologists apply the knowledge of biology to create useful products. Ecologists study the interactions of organisms in their environments. Physiologists study the workings of cells, tissues and organs. This is just a small sample of the many fields that biologists can pursue. From our own bodies to the world we live in, discoveries in biology can affect us in very direct and important ways. We depend on these discoveries for our health, our food sources, and the benefits provided by our ecosystem. Because of this, knowledge of biology can benefit us in making decisions in our day-to-day lives. The development of technology in the twentieth century that continues today, particularly the technology to describe and manipulate the genetic material, DNA, has transformed biology. This transformation will allow biologists to continue to understand the history of life in greater detail, how the human body works, our human origins, and how humans can survive as a species on this planet despite the stresses caused by our increasing numbers. Biologists continue to decipher huge mysteries about life suggesting that we have only begun to understand life on the planet, its history, and our relationship to it. For this and other reasons, the knowledge of biology gained through this textbook and other printed and electronic media should be a benefit in whichever field you enter. Q: Which branch of biology uses fossils to study life's history? Choices: - zoology - geology - morphology - paleontology A:
paleontology
Answer the following question given this paragraph: African Giraffes. Giraffes feed on leaves high in trees. Their long necks allow them to reach leaves that other ground animals cannot. Q: What allows giraffes to reach leaves that other ground animals cannot? Choices: - camouflage pattern - long tongue - long horns - long necks A:
long necks
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Studying the ocean floor is difficult because the environment is so hostile. The seafloor can be studied indirectly with tools such as sonar. It can be studied directly using special vehicles. Some vehicles carry scientists and their devices to the ocean floor. Other vehicles are operated remotely. Q: What tool is useful for studying the ocean floor because the environment is remote and underwater? Choices: - microscope - telescope - scale - sonar A:
A: sonar
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Physical science is the study of matter and energy. It includes the sciences of chemistry and physics. Most careers in physical science require a 4-year college degree in one of these fields. Some careers require more advanced education as well. For example, an astronaut might have a master's degree or even a doctoral degree. Q: What branch of science is the study of matter and energy? Choices: - environmental science - Chemistry - Thermodynamics - physical science A:
Answer: physical science
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: How do the differences in energy striking different latitudes affect Earth? The planet is much warmer at the equator than at the poles. In the atmosphere, the differences in heat energy cause winds and weather. On the surface, the differences cause ocean currents. Can you explain how?. Q: What does the heat energy affect in the atmosphere? Choices: - gravity and precipitation - erosion and condensation - density and humidity - winds and weather A:
**Answer**
winds and weather

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The cytoplasm consists of everything inside the plasma membrane, including watery cytosol and organelles. The cytoplasm suspends the organelles and does other jobs. The cytoskeleton crisscrosses the cytoplasm and gives the cell an internal framework. Q: The cytoskeleton crisscrosses the cytoplasm, this gives what to the cell? Choices: - external passageway - internal passageway - external framework - internal framework A:
(Answer)
internal framework
