To determine

The statement that is true about plants and animals.

Answer to Problem 1QQ

Plant and animals form two major forms of life on the surface of the Earth.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The living organism are classified according to their structure and type of cell. The living things are classified into five major kingdoms. These kingdoms are given as:

  • Kingdom Monera
  • Kingdom Protista
  • Kingdom fungi
  • Kingdom plantae
  • Kingdom Animalia

Option a is: The two major forms of life on Earth

The living things are classified into five kingdoms on Earth. The maximum species out of these are classified under kingdom plantae and kingdom animalia and all other kingdoms represent a small number of living organisms.

Thus, option (a) is correct.

Option b is: The only organism that have DNA.

DNA is an abbreviation used for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. This is present in the nucleus of the cell. All the living organisms on earth possess DNA as their genetic material. So, the kingdom Monera, Protista and Fungi also have DNA.

Thus, option (b) is incorrect.

Option c is: Just two small branches of the tree of the life on Earth.

Animals and plants occupy the maximum section of the living organisms.

Thus, option (c) is incorrect.

Conclusion:

Plants and animals are the two major forms of life on Earth

Your answer is partially correct. Two small objects, A and B, are fixed in place and separated by 2.98 cm in a vacuum. Object A has a charge of +0.776 μC, and object B has a charge of -0.776 μC. How many electrons must be removed from A and put onto B to make the electrostatic force that acts on each object an attractive force whose magnitude is 12.4 N? e (mea is the es a co le E o ussian Number Tevtheel ed Media !

4 Problem 4) A particle is being pushed up a smooth slot by a rod. At the instant when 0 = rad, the angular speed of the arm is ė = 1 rad/sec, and the angular acceleration is = 2 rad/sec². What is the net force acting on the 1 kg particle at this instant? Express your answer as a vector in cylindrical coordinates. Hint: You can express the radial coordinate as a function of the angle by observing a right triangle. (20 pts) Ꮎ 2 m Figure 3: Particle pushed by rod along vertical path.
