Is the world changing for the better?
You must be the change that you wish to see in the world. Gandhi
When scientist proceed from the particular to general?
inductive reasoning
The type of reasoning that involves using specific pieces of evidence to make generalizations are called inductive reasons.
Which is one reason scientists produce transgenic organisms?
scientist make transgenic organism because they want to improve things or foods they study...For instance, we have seen that some types of sharks seem to have a natural resistance to developing certain types of cancer. What if we could isolate that trait by safely moving it into rats? We could then perhaps move it a second step, into humans. Less cancer = better. Same goes for many things that other animals do "better" than humans (insulin production, high blood pressure etc). Also, as a believer in transhumanism, I have to mention the possibility of not just removing bad things from our genome, but also ADDING good things. The possibilities are, literally, only limited by our imagination and will to improve.
Scientists can tell whether organisms are closely related by comparing their?
Scientists can tell whether organisms are closely related by comparing their DNA. This will allow then to look at various traits and features so as to compare the relationship between organisms.
Answer By exposing materials to a hot flame (from a Bunsen burner typically), the color of the flame can be used to identify the material. Certain elements give off a characteristic color when heated to high temperature. See the Related Links for "Wikipedia: flame test" to the bottom for the answer.

What kind of scientist studies mircoscopic organisms?
=A Microbiologist studies microscopic organisms.=
Who first predicted the existence of an atom?
This was the Greek philosopher Leukippus and then his successor Democritus.
What is the naming system developed by Carl Linnaeus that scientists use to name an organism?
His system is called Binomial Nomenclature. An example would be Felis concolor. Felis is the Genus and concolor is the Species. The genus is capitalized and the species is not.
Carl Linnaeus (born 1707) made a classification system for living beings we use today. It starts with Kingdoms: Animalia (Animals), Plantae (Plants), Fungi, Protozoa and Monera (Bacteria). Some scientists claim that there are six kingdoms and that Monera is split into Eubacteria and Archaebacteria.
After the Kingdoms are the Phylum, then Class, then Order, then Family, then Subfamily, then Tribe, Genus, and Species. Descending, each type gets more and more specific.
Now for the "Two-word" part. If you take the Genus and Species and put them one after another, you get the scientific name. For example, we humans are Homo Sapiens and Apple Trees are Malus domestica. Chimps also have the Genus "Homo" but not the Species "Sapiens".

How can a trend help scientist make an prediction?
Scientists use something called computer models to make their predictions
A computer model is a computer program that has been designed to simulate a particular function and to make predictions of its expected behavior. Computer models are very useful to help us understand all sorts of events, lots of models have been developed and are used to explain lots of different events. Those who model climate over the next 50-100 years should have great interest in proof, testing and use of their models. The environmental revolutionaries want us to believe that every global warming prediction is correct, but computer models can easily draw wrong conclusions, it is easy for a computer model to be wrong, actually it is rather amazing that they ever make any correct predictions. Some events are simply to difficult to model, sometimes the results of a particular set of events are not known. One must then perform a complicated calculation each time those events must be used, rather than using the result of the mathematical equation to recreate a function. Some things cannot be modeled if you don't know on what they depend on.
What type of scientist studies hydrogen and oxygen?
A chemist. But it can also be a biologist or physicist.
List two reasons why monerans are considered to be the simplest of all life forms?
1. unicellular
2.prokaryotic
What is the string theory by michio kaku?
Michio Kaku did the 'String Field Theory' with the other scientist from Japan. All Michio Kaku did was make the equation of String theory to about 1 inch long.
Where can one purchase a subscription to New Scientist Magazine?
You can buy Sky and Telescope magazine from your local newsagents. They will be able to order it in for you if they don't normally stock it on their shelves and even deliver it to you.
What were living things classified as?
At one time, all living things were classified into two kingdoms of plants and animals. Aristotle developed this first classification system.
Scientists classify air masses according to?
In addition to their overall temperature air masses are classified according to the surface over which they form. continental air masses form over land, and are likely to be dry. Maritime air masses form over water and are humid. Polar air masses form at high altitudes and are cold. Tropical air masses form at low latitudes and are warm
How has guglielmo marconi influenced the industrial revolutoion?
Guglielmo Marconi made communication easier. He was granted the world's first patent for a system of wireless telegraphy. He also established wireless communication between France and England across the English Channel. Additionally, his companyâ??s Marconi radios ended the isolation of ocean travel and saved hundreds of lives.
What was Robert Brown's main contribution to biology?
Robert Brown (21 December 1773 - 10 June 1858) was a Scottish botanist and palaeobotanist who made important contributions to botany largely through his pioneering use of the microscope.
Which technique would most likely be used by forensic scientists?
by taking fingerprints or if we have a sample of hair or saliva or blood
Why is it important that scientist test foods?
Some practical values of food testing are nutritional. It is helpful to know how much fat, protein and sugar are in foods so that one gets enough of certain things and others don't eat too much of things such as fat that aren't healthy in excess. There are also allergies that some people must be careful about, an example being lactose intolerance
When and where did Louis Pasteur attend college?
what subjects did pasteur teach when he was a professor
