Document Summary

4)assuming the relationships shown among the 11 taxa in the tree below, redraw the tree with halibut, human, orangutan, humpbacked whale, ball python, and leopard frog removed. Evolution of multicellularity: name the three domains of life and list some of the key traits that all three groups have. Additionally, list the traits that eukaryotes only have developed. Thermodynamics: state the equation for free energy and explain what enthalpy, entropy, and free energy are (include the meaning of their signs and possibilities for spontaneous reactions). 2)what is the difference between kinetics and thermodynamics: living organisms, given the reaction diagrams, which statement is true more thermodynamically favorable reaction 2 is more kinetically favorable favorable than reaction 2 favorable than reaction 1. Scaling: state the power equation and the log form of the power equation. Describe what different values of b mean (ex. 2)fill in the graphs with a straight line or curve to show the expected relationship.
