Titan, Saturn's largest and most exotic moon, has planetary scientists so
excited as it possesses certain Earthlike features.

Over the past few years, a pair of probes

Cassini, which has orbited

Saturn since 2004, and Huygens, which plummeted onto Titan's surface in 2005
- have discovered features that are reminiscent of Earth.

Like Earth, Titan has mountains, volcanoes, dunes, riverbeds and

rainstorms. To cap it all, scientists announced that Cassini's powerful imaging
radar had uncovered a system of more than 75 lakes dotting the north
polar region.
However, Titan has a surface temperature that hovers around minus 290
degrees Fahrenheit. Hence, allthose familiar-looking features are constructed
from decidedly unfamiliar materials. The mountains are made primarily
of rock-hard water ice; the dunes are ice granules coated with hydrocarbons:
volcanoes probably belch methane and ammonia, and the lakes are filled
with methane.

Scientists require more time to study Titan before they can make sense
of the satellite that is so tantalisingly Earthlike.

Question

63ss/1

Read the following text and complete the given task.

Probably the most numerous organisms, and the first life-forms to evolve
on earth, are the organisms of the moneran kingdom. All monerans are bacteria.

There are three main types: cyanobacteria, true bacteria and archaeobacteria.
Monerans are also called prokaryotes because of their simple cell structure.

Monerans are among the most important organisms on earth. Many

monerans help break down dead organisms and waste matter. In this way,

they recycle chemicals and make them available to the other organisms.
For example, true bacteria living in the soil rapidly turn dead organisms
into valuable nutrients, such as nitrogen, in the soil. Bacteria themselves are

a valuable food source for many other organisms. Monerans also add and
remove important gases to and from the air.
Monerans are so numerous because different forms can withstand a wide

range of environmental conditions. On the bottom of the deepest oceans,

monerans withstand intense pressures. Others can survive the near-boiling
temperatures of sulfur-filled pools on land. With their small size and simple cell
structures, monerans can multiply very rapidly. Some true bacteria can divide
once every 20 minutes.
