Compared to terrestrial planets, the Jovian planets are

Explanation

Jovian planets often known as gas giant are not primarily composed of rock and solid matter but gas, hence they have larger size but lower densities. There are four Jovian planets known in our solar system: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Alternative explanation: Jovian planets include Jupiter — a ‘gas giant’ ==> bigger and less dense.

What is the difference between genotypes and phenotypes?
The column of air between you and the outer edge of the atmosphere has weight and applies pressure against you. As air cools, it becomes denser, it sinks, and it will not condense (will not become liquid). What can you expect when atmospheric pressure is low?
Each human gene can come in one or more varieties, called alleles. For each gene type, we inherit one allele from each parent. Each corresponding pair of alleles defines a unique physical or other trait. Either allele in a pair can be dominant or recessive. Two recessive alleles for one trait can actually mask the expression of alleles located at certain other sites on the chromosome and defining different but closely related traits.
Which of the following groups of traits makes most sense as an example of this?
In a simple two-star system, in which the two stars are bound by mutual gravitation, each star orbits around a mutual center of mass. The star with the lower mass receives greater acceleration and hence has a larger orbit.

What does this information tell you about the illustration’s features?

As the weight of a mass increases, the fulcrum point of a lever must be ___ the mass.
The human retina is composed of cells called rods, which register black and white, and cells called cones, which register color. Electrical signals from the rods and the cones are sent to the front of the retina to capture light-wave information entering through the eye’s pupil. This information is then sent to the brain where it is interpreted and perceived as visual images.

The tendency of an object to rotate about an axis (a point of rotation) through the application of force is referred to as torque. Increasing the distance between the axis and the applied force increases the magnitude of the torque.

The aphid family of insects, which is found throughout the world, spreads diseases to host plants and thus is widely considered to be destructive pests. During the autumn, when environmental conditions turn unfavorable to aphids, females produce eggs that hatch both male and female aphids, which then reproduce sexually. The genetic traits of this generation of aphids combine randomly, and with so many offspring the chances are very high that some will be hearty enough to survive the harsh fall and winter seasons. Eggs that are laid during the winter and that hatch in the spring, when environmental conditions turn favorable to the aphid population, produce only female offspring. In the absence of males, these female offspring then reproduce asexually. This form of reproduction occurs at a much quicker rate than sexual reproduction does.

Which is the best explanation for why aphids have evolved to reproduce asexually during the spring season?

Viscosity is a measure of the internal resistance of a fluid to flow. For example, motor oil is more viscous than water. The viscosity of a fluid will change with temperature. The graph below illustrates how the viscosity of oil changes with temperature.

Under which situation will the viscosity of the oil increase?

Through photosynthesis, a plant captures light energy from the Sun with various pigments, which absorb different wavelengths of light. The most significant and predominant of these pigments is chlorophyll a, which absorbs rather than reflects the blue and red light wavelengths of the color spectrum.
