Which process does NOT release energy from glucose?
Assuming it is a multiple choice, the answer should be Photosynthesis, because photosynthesis forms glucose as opposed to breaking it down
How do scientist know Utahraptor ever lived?
It is difficult to comprehend the vast stretch of time that dinosaurs lived on Earth.They lasted well over a hundred and fifty million years.Tyrannosarus rex was among the last of the dinosaurs;it died out sixty-five million years ago.Human beings have been around for only two or three million years.It will be a long time before we equal the duration of the dinosaurs' stay on Earth.
What factors do scientists consider as they classify climates?
The factors are:-
1. Distance from the sea
2. Ocean currents
3. Direction of prevailing winds
4. Relief
5. Proximity to the equator
6. The El Nino phenomenon
7. Recently it has accepted that Human activity is also affecting climate.
8. Location
or...
1. Latitude - Distance north or south of equator
2. Altitude - Distance above or below sea level
3. Global Winds - What winds are blowing/where they're coming from/warm or cold
4. Ocean currents - What currents are coming in/where from
5. Topography - Distance from mountains (how close they are)
6. Distance From Water - How close the area is to and ocean or lake (any body of water)
These are the main most important 6.

How did scientists know about?
People have known about Mars since ancient times. Indeed, its name comes to us from the ancient Romans who associated it with their god of war (Mars) because of the planet's red color.
Nasa probably found out about mars from going to school. Most of the people who were hired at NASA back in its early years had to be pretty smart, so most of them probably came from good schools. On the other hand, thanks in part to Percival Lowell, the idea that some form of civilization existed on Mars was wide spread during the early 20th century, and it fueled the literary Genera known as "Science Fiction." It is possible that many NASA scientists knew about Mars even before they went to school by reading about it in Science fiction and Fantasy magazines.
One way scientists classify organisms is by the method of transportation used by the organism?
One way scientists classify organisms is by their method of obtaining energy and nutrients. This is known as their trophic level. For example, producers (plants, algae) are at the first level, primary consumers (herbivores) are at the second level, secondary consumers (carnivores that eat herbivores) are at the third level and so on. Another way is by their characteristics of movement, such as sessile and motile organisms.
What kind of scientist studies dragonflies?
Since a dragonfly is an insect, the field of study is called Entomology so the people who are studying insects are called Entomologists but there are also some specific terms that are used for the people who study dragonflies.
How much money does a rocket scientist get?
There are different amounts of money that different rocket scientists will get. A rocket scientist who has made major discoveries will make more than one who is new.
Why do scientist call membrane a mosaic?
Phospholipids in the bilayer of the plasma membrane create a "sea" in which other molecules can float, like apples in water. Phospholipids can move sideways within the membrane, just as apples do in water.
What do you call a scientist who studies clouds the wind and air pressure?
A person who studies air is called an aerologist, aer meaning air
Does Tuberculosis have a nucleus?
Tuberculosis is caused by a bacteria which has no nucleus. It has DNA, but it is not found inside a membrane such as we have in our cells.
When scientist transfer genes from one organism to the other it is called?
Horizontal and vertical gene transfers are the terms to account for the transfer of genes between organisms. Horizontal (HGT) or (LGT) transfer happens when non-traditional reproduction effectuates the transfer whereas vertical transfer (VGT) occurs when asexual or sexual reproduction effectuates the genetic movement from parents to offspring.
What did mariner 10 and messenger teach us about mercury?
Mercury (disambiguation):
- The planet Mercury was known to ancient civilizations beginning with the Babylonians, Egyptians, Persians, and Chinese. The Greeks had two names for the planet: Apollo (in the morning sky) and Hermes (in the evening sky). The Romans named it Mercury for the Roman equivalent of Hermes, the messenger of the gods.
- The element mercury is named for the same Roman gods, and was isolated from the mineral cinnabar, mercury sulfide, as early as 1500 BC in ancient Egypt. It was also produced in China before the 2nd century BC.
What are scientists who study ecology called?
Ecologists study relationships in the natural world. The study the connection between animals, plants and their environment. They usually teach or run studies as well.
How do scientists learn about the earths history?
Everywhere! They look under water, and in the ground. Anyone can simply find a fossil by looking at a rock. There could be imprints of shells, or tiny fishbones, or something on a beach stone. Something like when you stick your hand into wet cement for a couple seconds, only it takes longer with formed rock.
What do you call someone who studies bears?
Firstly, koalas are not bears.
There is no particular name for someone who studies koalas.
People who study the field of animal Biology are zoologists. While there are specialised areas within this broad parameter (such as ornithologists, who study birds), there is no particular name for one who studies koalas. It is too narrow a field.
What is the name for a scientist who studies spiders?
CLASSIFICATION OF SPIDERS
KINGDOM : ANIMALIA
PHYLUM : ARTHROPODA (Animals with jointed appendages)
CLASS : ARACHNIDA (Eight legged animals)
ORDER : ARANEAE (Animals possessing spinnerets, i.e., spiders)
SUBORDERS:
• Mesothelae
•• 1 Family, 5 Genera
• Mygalomorphae (Includes the tarantulas and their closest relatives)
•• 15 or more Families, very large number of Genera
• Araneomorphae (Includes the common spiders everyone can find in the back yard.)
•• 92 or more Families, thousands of Genera
There are over 40,000 known species of spiders, and who knows how many more that have yet to be discovered and classified.
they will gather more evidence before reaching a conclusion
more studies of issues will be done
Who was the first scientist who first came up with concept of continental drift?
Alfred Wegner was the first person to come up with continental drift
What is Charles Linnaeus known for?
Carl Linnaeus (Latinized as Carolus Linnaeus, also known after his ennoblement as Carl von Linné (help·info), 23 May [O.S. 12 May]1707 - 10 January 1778) was a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, who laid the foundations for the modern scheme of binomial nomenclature. He is known as the father of modern taxonomy, and is also considered one of the fathers of modern ecology.
Linnaeus was born in the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. His father was the first in his ancestry to adopt a permanent last name; prior to that, ancestors had used the patronymic naming system of Scandinavian countries. His father adopted the Latin-form name Linnaeus after a giant linden tree on the family homestead. Linnaeus got most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures of botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735-1738, where he studied and also published a first edition of hisSystema Naturae in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 60s, he continued to collect and classify animals, plants, and minerals, and published several volumes. At the time of his death, he was widely renowned throughout Europe as one of the most acclaimed scientists of the time.
The Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau sent him the message: "Tell him I know no greater man on earth."[2] The German writerJohann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote: "With the exception of Shakespeare and Spinoza, I know no one among the no longer living who has influenced me more strongly."[2] Swedish author August Strindberg wrote: "Linnaeus was in reality a poet who happened to become a naturalist".[3]
In botany, the author abbreviation used to indicate Linnaeus as the authority for species names is simply L.
What did Barbara McClintock found out about genetics?
During the 1940s and 1950s, McClintock discovered transposition and used it to show how genes are responsible for turning physical characteristics on or off. She developed theories to explain the repression or expression of genetic information from one generation of maize plants to the next. Hope this helps. Sources: Wikipedia
Why do scientists use AUs to measure distances in the solar system?
The AU was used as a unit of measure, before the propagation of electromagnetic radiation was understood, or its rate quantified. So because of tradition, and the fact that the AU is a more wieldy unit, for distances within the solar system than either light years, or miles, the AU still holds sway.
What do scientists mean when they use the term force?
In physics, a force is that which can cause an object with mass to change its velocity. Force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. Newton's second law states that an object with a constant mass will accelerate in proportion to the net force acting upon and in inverse proportion to its mass. Equivalently, the net force on an object equals the rate at which its momentum changes.
How do scientists communicate data accurately with one another?
Most commonly, scientists publish results in peer-reviewed technical journals to which scientists submit articles and experimental results. They may also share results in meetings or conferences. A lot of research is shared online, but the main forums are peer-reviewed journals .
Science communication can aim to generate support for scientific research or study, or to emphasis on explaining methods rather than simply findings of science.
