Answer to Question 1

The warm Mesozoic climate was likely due to increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations and greater equator-to-pole heat transport. The increased CO2 concentrations likely resulted from higher outgassing rates corresponding to increased sea-floor spreading rates, while the cause for the greater equator-to-pole heat transport has been elusive.

Answer to Question 2

D

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
