All complex life on Earth is eukaryotic. All eukaryotic cells share a common ancestor that arose just once in four billion years of evolution. Prokaryotes show no tendency to evolve greater morphological complexity, despite their metabolic virtuosity. Here I argue that the eukaryotic cell originated in a unique prokaryotic endosymbiosis, a singular event that transformed the selection pressures acting on both host and endosymbiont.
The combination of massive bioenergetic expansion, release from genome-size constraints, and high mutation rate favored a protosexual cell cycle and the accumulation of eukaryotic traits. These factors explain the unique origin of eukaryotes, the absence of true evolutionary intermediates, and the evolution of sex in eukaryotes but not prokaryotes.

Explanation:
How do we know what the temperature of the Earth was in the past?
What is the relationship between CO2 (carbon dioxide) and temperature on Earth?
What is the greenhouse effect?
Why are global sea levels rising?
Answer:
How do we know what the temperature of the Earth was in the past? - One way to measure past temperatures is to study ice cores. Whenever snow falls, small bubbles filled with atmospheric gases get trapped within it. In some places, so much snow falls that the older layers become buried and compressed into ice, locking away air bubbles in ice sheets and glaciers
What is the relationship between CO2 (carbon dioxide) and temperature on Earth? - When the carbon dioxide concentration goes up, temperature goes up. When the carbon dioxide concentration goes down, temperature goes down.
What is the greenhouse effect? - the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere, due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.
Why are global sea levels rising? - Global warming is causing global mean sea level to rise in two ways. First, glaciers and ice sheets worldwide are melting and adding water to the ocean. Second, the volume of the ocean is expanding as the water warms.

Use the picture of the heliocentric and geocentric models to answer the question below:
zoom_in
Which of the following statements best describes the models above?
Model 1 represents the old geocentric model of the solar system and Model 2 represents the newer heliocentric model of the solar system.
Model 1 represents the old heliocentric model of the solar system and Model 2 represents the new geocentric model of the solar system.
Model 1 represents the newer geocentric model of the solar system and Model 2 represents the old heliocentric model of the solar system.
Model 1 represents the old heliocentric model of the solar system and Model 2 represents the new geocentric model of the solar system.
Answer:
Model 1 represents the old geocentric model of the solar system and Model 2 represents the newer heliocentric model of the solar system.
Explanation:
Model 1 has earth in the center, therefore it is geocentric. the geocentric model of the solar system is old. Nobody believes in it anymore because it is scientifically inaccurate.
Model 2 has the sun in the center, therefore it is heliocentric. This is the newer model of the solar system.
Imagine that you have just made a fresh apple pie. When you take it out of the oven, it is so hot, you can't even hold it in your hand; so you place it on the kitchen table. Now, several minutes later, you are able to cut a slice and eat it. The apple pie has cooled, the question now is, where has the heat gone? Select which of the following below is most likely to have occurred and provide a well developed, written explanation for your response using scientific principles learned in class.
Answer:
Radiation (I think)
Explanation:
The electromagnetic radiation emitted from the source carries heat energy away from the source to surroundings, the infrared or electromagnetic waves escape from the hot apple pie through radiation into the surrounding air.

Describe what the Sim evidence shows you about attraction. Remember to use the words attraction, freedom of movement, kinetic energy, and overcome in your response.
Answer:
i forgot this but i already know kinetic energy. Absorbs attraction to energy that is in the atmosphere
The simulations clearly shows how the temperature affects the freedom of movement of particles of a substance and their force of attraction. As the temperature increases, the intermolecular attraction decreases, and the particles become more free to move apart.
What is intermolecular forces ?Intermolecular forces of attraction are the forces that binds the molecules or particles of a substance together. There are various kinds of intermolecular forces.
The temperature is a significant factor affecting the intermolecular attraction. The kinetic energy of particles are directly proportional to the temperature.
As the temperature increases, kinetic energy of the particles to move apart increases resulting in the weakening of the force of attraction between them.
It is clear from the simulation that, at 36 degree Celsius, the particles are more closer , but when the temperature is increased to 206 degree Celsius, the particles have some space between as they started to move apart.

Explanation:
What two factors determine a planet’s orbit? Select all that apply.
planet’s shape
planet’s velocity
gravity
planet’s volume
Answer: The two main factors that determine a planet's orbit are the mass of the planet and the mass of the object it is orbiting (such as a star)
Explanation: The gravitational force between these two objects causes the planet to follow an elliptical orbit around the object. The planet's velocity, or speed, also plays a role in its orbit, as it determines the shape of the orbit. The shape of the planet itself does not significantly affect its orbit. The planet's volume may have some effect on its orbit if the planet has a high density and therefore a strong gravitational pull, but it is not a primary factor.
