I got 5.7m, you had to physically measure it with a ruler, and convert form cm to m. It took me ages to notice it had pointed to exactly where the shoulder was though :biggrin:

hahah for the spinach one I just said that its less expensive to grow food in space rather than send it via spacecraft therefore its more economically efficient? I also said that it helps regulate the oxygen- but I don't think thats correct Xx

i got for the rhino that because it's larger it finds it very hard to cool down with it's SA:V ratio. diffusion doesn't occur at a rate fast enough as the rising temperatures due to global warming mean that it won't get cooler but will continue to get hotter. i genuinely had no idea for this.

advantages of deforestation is probably that it frees up space for plants below to grow, it provides resources for human use, and clears space for buildings.

poor diet for red blood cells i had no idea, i just put something like without iron or protein the vital things needed to maintain and create new red blood cells aren't available but stretched it out more so it could be 2 marks.

nasa growing spinach in space... i just put something dumb like to see if life can be facilitated in space
I measured the little rino instead of the big one, that is what happens when you do not read questions properly heh...

what did you put for the 2 reasons (other than global warming) that the rhino became extinct?😅
