General Science Questions

Thermal energy is caused by the motion of atoms and molecules in the matter.

1. Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key.
2. Thermal energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured.
3. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object or system to another in the form of heat.

Clay is an example of Aquiclude.

Life originated by chemosynthesis was proved in the laboratory by Miller.

Biodegradable substances can be broken down into simpler, harmless substances in nature with due course of time by the biological process such as action of microbes. They can be recycled as a part of food chain.

Here, Leather bags are biodegradable.

Uranium is not a fossil fuel whereas coal, petroleum and natural gas are all natural resources.

Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, formed from the remains of dead plants and animals. In common dialogue, the term fossil fuel also includes hydrocarbon-containing natural resources that are not derived from animal or plant sources

The correct statement among the given options about the process of scientific inquiry is "It is possible to test hypotheses, such as those involving historical events, without conducting experiments."

Although it is not possible to carry out experiments to test hypotheses about evolutionary relationships between living groups or about the timing of the origin of major evolutionary innovations, such hypotheses can be evaluated by making predictions about the expected findings that would result from these hypotheses. Data can then be collected to test whether these predictions are correct.

Ichthyology is the branch of biology devoted to the study of fish.

It is also known as Fish science which includes bony fishes (Osteichthyes), cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes), and jawless fish (Agnatha).
