Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 20.3 | Terrestrial Biomes By the end of this section, you will be able to: Identify the two major abiotic factors that determine the type of terrestrial biome in an area Recognize distinguishing characteristics of each of the eight major terrestrial biomes Earth's biomes can be either terrestrial or aquatic. Terrestrial biomes are based on land, while aquatic biomes include both ocean and freshwater biomes. The eight major terrestrial biomes on Earth are each distinguished by characteristic temperatures and amount of precipitation. Annual totals and fluctuations of precipitation affect the kinds of vegetation and animal life that can exist in broad geographical regions. Temperature variation on a daily and seasonal basis is also important for predicting the geographic distribution of a biome. Since a biome is defined by climate, the same biome can occur in geographically distinct areas with similar climates (Figure 20.18). There are also large areas on Antarctica, Greenland, and in mountain ranges that are covered by permanent glaciers and support very little life. Strictly speaking, these are not considered biomes and in addition to extremes of cold, they are also often deserts with very low precipitation. Q: Terrestrial and aquatic are the two basic categories of what, on earth? Choices: - substrates - atmospheres - dendrites - biomes A:
Ans: biomes

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Solar energy travels in photons. Photons travel in waves, which make up electromagnetic radiation. Q: Solar energy travels in what? Choices: - ions - electrons - neurons - photons A:

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Microwaves are used for cell phones and radar. Q: Which types of waves are used for cell phones and radar? Choices: - light waves - thermal waves - sound waves - microwaves A:
Ans: microwaves

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The many steps in the process of aerobic cellular respiration can be divided into three stages. The first stage, glycolysis, produces ATP without oxygen. Because this part of the cellular respiration pathway is universal, biologists consider it the oldest segment. Note that glycogen and fats can also enter the glycolysis pathway. The second stage is the Krebs Cycle, and the third stage is the electron transport chain. It is during the third stage that chemiosmosis produces numerous ATP molecules. Q: Glycolysis, the krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain are stages in what process? Choices: - cell death - reproduction - mitosis - aerobic cellular respiration A:
Ans:
aerobic cellular respiration
