Group of answer choices It could not be any of these options A fungus An animal A protist A bacteriumarrow_forwardThe Study of Life discusses themes in biology, how life is organized, the types of cellular life forms, evolution, and the process of scientific thinking. In this post, you will demonstrate an understanding of you've learned about the themes in biology, how life is organized, the types of cellular life forms, evolution, and the process of scientific thinking. Choose one concept and describe your understanding of the concept, add information to that concept and lastly pose a question to the class so that they can get involved.arrow_forwardOne of the simplest definitions of a life-form is anything with the capacity to reproduce and regulate itself. Before life began, the complex organic, or hydrocarbon-bearing, molecules that makeup RNA and DNA, the building blocks of life, must have formed. No one knows exactly how life is formed from these molecules, but many ideas have been put forward. As you enter this area, go toward the large video screen on the right and explore the “Life at the hydrothermal Vents” label deck. Some scientists theorize that life begins at deep-sea vents. Find three lines of evidence to support this claim.arrow_forward

And then answer these questions on a biological perspective. Thanks!! What advantages and disadvantages are there to an all brain/all muscle body plan? Would this organism benefit from specialized tissues? Why or why not? Consider actual organisms that may be similar in nature with a limited number of specialized tissues/cells. Would you be worried about this organism causing global extinction? Why or why not? Why do you think that the biologist consultant who worked on this film chose an organism which has uniformity in the tissues? Imagine a re-make of this movie. What organism would you suggest to the producers would make the optimal Martian in this movie?
