When a person pushes a
large load up an inclined
plane, where does the person
get the energy to do this
task?
A. The chemical energy in from his food is
transformed into mechanical energy.
B. The thermal energy from his food is
transformed into mechanical energy.
C. The mechanical energy from his food is
transformed into chemical energy.

Consider darwin's first writings on the theory of natural selection. an important point of darwin's essay on the principle of population, written in 1798, was a peer's observation that in nature plants and animals produce far more offspring than can survive, this observation can be attributed to a) charles lyell. b) thomas malthus. c) jean-baptiste lamarck. d) johann friedrich meckel.

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.

Ras is a g-protein that is activated when a growth factor attaches to egfr. its activation results in the replacement of a gdp molecule with a gtp molecule, thus allowing a signal transduction pathway to be activated. considering the signal pathway illustrated on this page, what is one potential outcome of a mutation in the ras gene that leads to ras protein hyperactivity. be specific.
