Scientist theorize that all life started with simple prokaryotic organisms. new species continue to evolve from existing species creating the variety of life we see today the following diagram shows the basic process. based on this diagram do you think that organisms of the same order will share a stronger evolutionary relationship than organisms that share only the same phylum? explain your reasoning using the results of your investigation

Sea levels are rising due to climate change while increasing numbers of people are moving into coastal areas. to accommodate more people, there has been increased construction of beachfront resorts and condominiums. how is this impacting sea turtle numbers and biodiversity and why? a. the increased human population in coastal areas has meant that more food is available to the turtles (e.g., dropped food, waste from restaurants), which has led to an increase in the numbers and diversity of sea turtles. b. there has been very little change in the numbers and biodiversity of sea turtles because the planet is so vast that they can simply relocate to less crowded beaches. c. this has resulted in a decrease in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because it is restricting available nesting sites, and hence reproduction. d. this has resulted in an increase in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because people are around to protect them from natural predators.

Food contains a sugar called ( ), which is broken down in a process called cellular ( ). this process uses ( ) to break down food molecules and provide energy for cells. fill in the parentheses

This class has taught you that the use of science and medicine in practical ways has become an international endeavor. one of the greatest examples of an international science accomplishment is which allows the profiling of human dna, useful not only to science but also medicine. a) forensic science b) the fbi c) the human genome project d) bioterrorism
