The table shows the distances between a star and three celestial objects. Use the conversion factors to rewrite the distances in different, but equivalent, units. Celestial Objects Distance from the Star
object A 0.000001877 pc
object B 30.06 AU
object C 778.3 million km

Conversion factors:

1 AU = 1.5 × 108 km
1 light-year = 9.5 × 1012 km
1 parsec = 31 trillion km, or about 3.262 light-years

Simulating adaptations in a species in this activity, you will discuss in detail the adaptations in a species of rain forest plants. you will build a simulation that explains the changes in the traits of the plant population over 10 years. you will also establish a scientific explanation to justify the changes in the traits of the population, * time to complete: 1-2 hours part a an organism's adaptations are specific to its native environment. an organism that lives in a coniferous forest will have different adaptations compared to an animal that lives in a tropical rain forest. the following graphs show the temperature and precipitation throughout the year for two different forests: a coniferous forest in canada, and a tropical rain forest in belize. evaluate the graphs, and then explain why plants from these two ecosystems will have different adaptations. in your answer, explain the survival challenges that plants face in these two environments.

The many stone tools, fragmentary animal bones, and teeth found at gran dolina, spain, indicate that hominids there? a. processed and consumed animals and other hominids. b. did not differ appreciably from earlier asian homo erectus. c. were similar to later homo sapiens. d. none of the above

Part a - which gene to compare? in this exercise, you will use the cytochrome c oxidase i (coi) gene to investigate relationships among salmon species. (this gene encodes a protein that functions in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.) you will compare the coi gene sequences from your salmon test samples to the standard sequences for each salmon species. in order for the coi gene to be useful for distinguishing among the different salmon species, which three statements must be true?
