School C is done and i dont really care whatever i get. Anyways today in class my science teacher went over the test again. He said it is BIOSPHERE and nothing else. My science teacher said only a very small percentage of students got this answer correct. Also the other answer which people speculated was the bacteria and virus one. The answer is INFECTIOUS and not pathogens. Also he said that if you wrote Sodium as NA you would still get it correct as long as you wrote your other answers in block letters. He knows all this because he marked all this section already and he is one of the supervisor person who checks all the answers marked by the other teachers. So far i felt that i got a fair few wrong in multiple choice but doing pretty well in Section 2.

I put biosphere because the question said all life on earth.... I dont think all of earth is an environment an environment means life in a specific type of area.

The question asked for the term which described all life on earth, the ocean/sea and life in it etc...

Quote:
Encarta Dictionary definitions:

Bioshphere: planet Earth and its life: the whole area of Earth's surface, atmosphere, and sea that is inhabited by living things

Environment: surrounding influences: all the external factors influencing the life and activities of people, plants, and animals

the only problem Wooz is that the question was 'What name is given to part of the earth containing living things,INCLUDING the lithosphere and earth's hydrosphere'

Simply
a) In a SC exam they wuld hav simply asked What name is given to all livin matter on Earth?, rather than going on and raving about the other elements such as lithosphere and hydrosphere!!!
B) What it says in my Excel Bio book is that the environment is the living matter, with its EXTERNAL influences, including its surroundings
C) WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOO
CAAAAAARES???!!!!??!?
D) So your Wrong WooZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kido_1 said:
And just to add salt to the Woound, the fact that the biosphere means all areas occcupied by living things including the atmosphere....
The only problem is that was NOT the question. RATHER the question was what name is given to all living things INCLUDING the atmosphere and hydrosphere....

Not wat name is given to livin things in the atmosphere and Hydrosphere!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

NOW WHO'S WRONG YOU LITTLE PRICK. BWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH, serves you right!!
