I'm not quite sure about what you mean, (my fault, not yours) but if i'm right about biomes being similar to a life area, then my guess would be:- Pacific Ocean- Atlantic Ocean- Indian Ocean- Antarctic Ocean- Arctic Ocean

[rocky19]

Nice try, the ocean sounds nice, but it's sort of different from that. The question remains open.

[Teddy Bear!]

Oceans, reefs, estuaries, lakes & ponds, streams & rivers, wetlands.I think those are the major ones.

[rocky19]

Alright, this is kind of hard to say. tedsbe you'll geting 3 points of a grand total of 5. First off, the ocean isn't really a biome. It is more like a name for sailors. The reefs and estuaries aren't biomes, but the other three sort of matches with the biomes, so the last three you'll get points on. I guess the question is still open.tedsbe: 42bigpigs: 1ciao: 1jamzemu: 4 (hemoglobin - use this for a 1 or 2 points question which only you could answer, you get to choose how much points as well)polopbob: 2TheGimp: 13Rules: Basically the same rule as most quizzes out there.

[TheGimp]

It's not efficient. They don't get as much energy from what they consume. It's difficult to obtain their foods. Their foods build/develop defenses/ways to avoid being eaten. there are probably more reasons but "it's not efficient" is the quickest and easiest explanation(also i'm lazy ).PS: i've seriously shortened my answer and really stupefied it (cause i don't wanna bother writing more)

I'm pretty sure the fastest animal is the peregrine falcon (much faster than even cheetahs which are on land).

Does this mean no one gets any points? What was the answer you were looking for?

[rocky19]

tedsbe got it right this time. Also, TheGimp, if you checked carefully, I already gave you a point on the question.

Q16: 1 glucose molecule in anaerobic respiration makes 4atp but 2 of them are used up in the process(glycolysis). 1 glucose molecule in aerobic respiration makes 34atp with 2 used up in the process.

[rocky19]

Hmm. I could give you points for q17 and q19, but not q18. Natural selection does not distinguish good traits from bad traits. Also, the answer provided is not detailed enough to my satisfaction. q18 remains open.

[lightning18]

Q18 - Natural selection is the process whereby organisms possessing certain genotypic characteristics which are better adjusted to an environment tend to survive, reproduce, increase in number or frequency, and therefore, are able to transmit and perpetuate their essential genotypic qualities to succeeding generationsQ20 - Urbanisation and agriculture caused by humans can both cause the greatest level of biodiversityQ21 - The main differences are that plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts whereas animal cells don't

[rocky19]

sorry lightning18, q18 was close but no cigar. Please try again. Also, q20 is incorrect.

[polopbob]

Q18: Personally, I don't quite get what is wrong in lightning's answer looks correct to me, but I since that's wrong. Could the pupose simply be the continueation of the life circle, to let the best adapted one life on as an evolved specie.Q20: could this be radiation? The mutation of genes due to a high dosis of radiatio, changing it's structure, and forming new genes.

Edited by polopbob, 17 April 2011 - 03:24 PM.

[rocky19]

Sorry, but for question 18, I am particularly picky for the answer. The closest so far would still be lightning, but lightning failed to mention one specific and crucial detail. As for question 20, nice try polopbob, but I'm more thinking of the level of disturbance, not the type of disturbance. So the two question still remains open.

[TheGimp]

q20: is it global? IE: a meteor hitting the planet causing enough ash and debris to be kicked up into the atmosphere to cause a significant change in temperature, environment, etc. world wide.
