Suppose a future telescope is able to take a spectrum of a terrestrial planet around another star and reveals the presence of significant amounts of ozone. What would this mean, and why?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Process of Science: Most galaxies do not obey Hubble's Law perfectly. Why do we not take this as evidence that Hubble's law (and the theory of the expanding universe) is incorrect?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The presence of abundant ozone would probably be an indication of photosynthetic life because ozone is a form of oxygen, which is produced by life.

Answer to Question 2

Hubble's law describes motions due only to expansion of the universe. In reality we expect (and observe) that actual galaxies experience gravitational effects from other objects and galaxies they encounter, making their motions slightly different from the pure Hubble's law prediction.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Amoebae are the simplest type of protozoans, and are characterized by a feeding and dividing trophozoite stage that moves by temporary extensions called pseudopodia or false feet.
