a research biologist but I want some feedback from people in the career to help me decide what type of job I'm really looking for and what field I should focus on... I have this idea in my head and I want to know how close my idea is to the reality of actually being a biologist
Biology is definitely my thing... all facets of life fascinate me, from the life of a fungus to life in other parts of the universe. I'm starting college this fall with a major in Biology, but I want to know where I should go from there and what I can to with a degree in Biology.

Any (serious) answers are greatly appreciated!

Just to state, I am not a creationist. I am a former creationist that has since come to their sense, and am now very curious about evolution. Evolution only barely makes sense to me, but I'm ready to learn. Please refer to this video:

(It's about the Pika, the incentive to watch is that it's cute)

What I don't understand is how the Pika knows what is poisoness, and what is not. Also, how does Pika know that the poison will preserve the plants into the winter? I don't understand how the plant and animal correspond to each other perfectly (natural selection of course, but I want something more specific). In the past, I would only have said 'they were designed for each other', but I am now seeking a better answear.

connected by radial passages.

The rats starts at North from the center,
runs 1m cw, turns left, continues to the next circle,
runs 1m ccw, turns right, continues to the next circle,
runs 1m cw, turns left, continues to the next circle,
runs 1m ccw, turns right, continues to the next circle,
etc..

In what direction can we see the rat after long time?

My guesse would be 1,000 (kilo) divided by 60, which is 16.6. There four one kwh every 16.6 hours.

I've been looking at pictures of UFOs online and they are always tilted like a Frisbee in mid air. I would assume that for top speed and aerodynamics a level flying plane would be best. Makes me wonder....
Here are a few links for examples.

If f(x)={(3,5),(2,4),(1,7)} g(x)= sqrt(x-3)
h(x)={(3,2),(4,3),(1,6)} k(x)=x^2 +5

determine each of the following:
(f o h)(3)=
(f+h)(1)=
(kg)(x)=
(f^(-1))(x)=

I don't know where to begin or what the question is even asking..It's been so long since I've done these problems. If you can tell me what to do that would be great =)

Copper metal reacts with nitric acid to produce copper nitrate, water and nitric oxide (in the reaction shown below). An inorganic chemist placed 100.0 mg of copper powder into a reaction flask with 100.0 mL of 0.037 M nitric acid (HNO3). After allowing the reaction to proceed to completion, he evaporated the contents of the flask to dryness. To the correct number of significant figures, how much solid material remains in the flask?

HNO3(aq) + Cu(s) Cu(NO3)2(s) + H2O(l) + NO(g

For nuclei larger than Ne, the nuclear radius in Fermis (10-15m) is well-approximated by the formula: R = 1.2 A1/3 wherein A is the total number of nucleons. Assuming all of the atomic mass is in the nucleus, and that the nucleus is spherical, estimate the nuclear density of 89Y.
