AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a Year 8 science homework assignment concerning Peter the postman and his bike ride uphill. Key points include identifying Peter's characteristics as an organism, which involve his ability to respond to changes and perform essential life functions. The body systems working together during the ride are the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, highlighting the importance of the nervous system for movement. Measurements suggested for Peter's riding include his position, speed, and the work done while biking uphill. The participant expresses gratitude for the assistance received and plans to engage more with the forum for further learning.

I have a Science Test Tomorrow and i need help with these questions. Help will be appreciated.
1. Peter the postman rides his bike uphill.
a. Peter is an organism. List the features that make Peter an organism.
b. When Peter rides his bike up the hill which body systems are working together.
c. What measurements can be done on Peter and his riding?



The attempt at a solution
a. Peter can detect changes, change position or place, get rid of wastes, grow, get food, produce young and respire.
b. skeleton and muscular.

Your answer for A looks good.

For B, i would say skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, since without the nervous system the body wouldn't receive the signals it needed to move in the first place.

For C, i would say that you can measure the position and speed of Peter and his bike as he rides. And possibly the amount of Work that peter is doing to ride his bike uphill.

Thank you for your great answer. This helped me study for my test. I hope i do well. XD

I have decided to stick around in this forum more since it has more smarter and members with higher knowledge in science.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'
This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
