Question 5 • RVACR Ecology

CONTRAST: Identify three ways a biologist’s research is different from an astronomer’s.

Answer
A
A biologist uses microscopes; an astronomer uses telescopes.
B
A biologist researches living organisms; an astronomer does not.
C
A biologist uses computer models; an astronomer does not.
D
A biologist explores things on Earth; an astronomer explores celestial bodies like stars and planets.

Explanation

A biologist commonly uses microscopes to study small structures, while an astronomer uses telescopes to observe objects in space. Biologists research living organisms; astronomers study celestial objects rather than living organisms. Biologists generally study life on Earth, whereas astronomers investigate stars, planets, and other celestial bodies. Both fields can use computer models, so choice C is not a difference.
