  2. Rapids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapids

    Rapids are sections of a river where the river bed has a relatively steep gradient, causing an increase in water velocity and turbulence. Flow, gradient, constriction, and obstacles are four factors that are needed for a rapid to be created.

  3. Marine protists - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_protists

    Some species are endosymbionts of marine animals and other protists, and play an important part in the biology of coral reefs. Others predate other protozoa, and a few forms are parasitic. Many dinoflagellates are mixotrophic and could also be classified as phytoplankton. The toxic dinoflagellate Dinophysis acuta acquire chloroplasts from its prey.

  4. Two-domain system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-domain_system

    The two-domain system is a biological classification by which all organisms in the tree of life are classified into two domains, Bacteria and Archaea. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It emerged from development of knowledge of archaea diversity and challenges the widely accepted three-domain system that classifies life into Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_(biology)

    This six-kingdom model is commonly used in recent US high school biology textbooks, but has received criticism for compromising the current scientific consensus. [13] But the division of prokaryotes into two kingdoms remains in use with the recent seven kingdoms scheme of Thomas Cavalier-Smith, although it primarily differs in that Protista is ...

    Also in 2016, Quizlet launched "Quizlet Live", a real-time online matching game where teams compete to answer all 12 questions correctly without an incorrect answer along the way. [15] In 2017, Quizlet created a premium offering called "Quizlet Go" (later renamed "Quizlet Plus"), with additional features available for paid subscribers.

  7. Domain (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_(biology)

    Carl Linnaeus made the classification "domain" popular in the famous taxonomy system he created in the middle of the eighteenth century. This system was further improved by the studies of Charles Darwin later on but could not classify bacteria easily, as they have very few observable features to compare to the other domains.

  8. International scale of river difficulty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_scale_of...

    Injuries while swimming are rare; self-rescue is usually easy but group assistance may be required to avoid long swims. Rapids that are at the lower or upper end of this difficulty range are designated Class III- or Class III+ respectively. Class IV: Advanced Intense, powerful but predictable rapids requiring precise boat handling in turbulent ...

  9. Biomolecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomolecule

    Biomolecules and their reactions are studied in biology and its subfields of biochemistry and molecular biology. Most biomolecules are organic compounds, and just four elements—oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen—make up 96% of the human body's mass. But many other elements, such as the various biometals, are also present in small amounts.
