Which of the following are characteristics of a generalist species? A generalist species is able to thrive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of a variety of different resources (for example, a heterotroph with a varied diet). A specialist species can thrive only in a narrow range of environmental conditions […]
Which material does sound travel fastest through?
Which material does sound travel fastest through? How fast speed travels, or the speed of sound, depends on the kind of matter it is moving through. Of the three phases of matter (gas, liquid, and solid), sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Can you hear sounds better […]

How do you find alternate minimums? To view the non-standard IFR alternate minimums information, you will need to go to the Airports page > search […]
Do light bulbs have high or low resistance?
Do light bulbs have high or low resistance? Incandescent light bulbs have a small filament which when heated begins to glow and emit light. The reason the filament heats up is because it has a high resistance, which means that as electrons move through the filament, they lose a lot of energy. Does a brighter […]

What are some good insulators?
What are some good insulators? Plastic, rubber, wood, and ceramics are good insulators.

Plastic coating is also used to cover most electrical wires in appliances. Air is also a good insulator of […]
What comes through nuclear pores?
What comes through nuclear pores? Each nuclear pore is a large complex of proteins that allows small molecules and ions to freely pass, or diffuse, into or out of the nucleus. Similarly, RNA transcribed in the nucleus and proteins that are destined to enter the cytoplasm have nuclear export sequences that tag them for release […]
Who is the father of atom?

He is sometimes called the “father” of atomic theory, but judging from this photo on the right “grandfather” might be a better term. How thick […]
What is needed for an ecosystem to support the greatest variety of organisms?
What is needed for an ecosystem to support the greatest variety of organisms? Answer: An ecosystem must contain producers, consumers, decomposers, and dead and inorganic matter. All ecosystems require energy from an external source – this is usually the sun. Plants need sunlight to photosynthesize and produce glucose, providing an energy source for other organisms. […]
