Neither. There is no sharp evolutionary boundary between any two species. Change is gradual and there is no point at which one can point to a before animal and an after animal in any single generation and say this is NOT a chicken and this IS a chicken.
What is the ground speed of an unladen swallow?
What is the concept/hypothesis of panspermia?
This is kind of irrelevant. "Trochlea" is just a description. Just like the 'artery' in 'renal artery' is just a description. I stand by what I said, and this is supported by text in several anatomical textbooks. If you can provide a credible source (like a textbook or journal article) that both uses an alternative nomenclature and argues strongly against use of the term 'trochlea' for the other two structures I named (due to the nature of your claim, it is not enough to say that they have alternative names), then I will correct what I earlier wrote. Moreover, I would like evidence saying there is a named trochlea in the knee joint, please.gotta kinda correct you on this one. these aren't all called the trochlea. they're "trochlea of the ________", but not "the trochlea". there are only two anatomical structures called "the trochlea" without needing much specification... well, four, actually... and those are on both humeruses and femurs, where the elbow and knee joints are.
I'll add some more science/healthcare to the list.

White blood cell, I believe.

You have C. difficile on your hands. Which is the fastest, best option for dealing with the organism and why? (1) Alcohol based hand sanitizer (2) Soap (3) Anti-microbial soap
(1). No idea as to why -- I just used test-taking skills. (2) can be mostly ruled out because the "soap" part is duplicated in (3). (3) is at a reduced probability because it looks like a targeted answer -- anti-microbial for a microbe, so it looks to have been chosen by a test-maker, not simply been laid out as fact. That leaves (1).

Not sure but it has something to do with the immune system I believe.

What is a gram stain?
I believe it's a method of differentiating bacteria by some trait. They talk of gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
What is plantarflexion?
Something to do with the feet? Plantar fasciitis is an injury to the plantar of your foot.
You have C. difficile on your hands. Which is the fastest, best option for dealing with the organism and why? (1) Alcohol based hand sanitizer (2) Soap (3) Anti-microbial soap
C difficile is a common bacteria. One that has come to be a problem in hospitals due to multi drug resistant strains. I'm going to say 2 but I'm not sure what the answer should be. Not 3 I'd say due to breeding more drug resistance.
As OP couldn't answer, I'll take a swing.
Just answered

Close~

Ehh... close, this question was looking for knowing about the specific properties of C. difficile.
Sorry, I read mcmurphy's response as being yours.
Some questions for computer people, random and unrelated
1.) 2.71828183 What is the significance of this number?
Not sure
2.) Integrate Cos (X) * e^x
Yeah fuck I should be able to do this. Need to go back to study. It's not hard but it's been 4+ years since I did calculus and I've forgotten even the basics. The Integral of e^x by itself is just e^x almost by definition.
3.) What is the difference between a 32nm, and 90nm microprocessor and which is better and why?
Shorter trace lengths. Assuming the two processors are electrically identical the 32nm one will be physically much smaller. Along with the reduction in size comes reduction in power requirements and usually the ability to run at higher speeds.
4.) What is the event horizon? What happens when you cross it?
The Event horizon is the surface surrounding a black hole which defines the point at which light can no longer escape from the black hole's gravitational pull. Nothing actually happens when you cross it. It simply demarcates the point at which light, and anything else moving at c, can no longer escape. As an outside observer you would seem to get stretched out and stop at the event horizon, you would never seem to actually cross. As the person falling in you would not know you had crossed the horizon (assuming the graviational tides hadn't ripped you to pieces).
5.) What is time dilation, and why does it occur?
Time dilation is the effect where different observers do not agree on the speed of the passage of time. It occurs when an object is moving relative to another. It occurs whenever there is any relative velocity but is only realy noticeable at relativistic speeds.
6.) In engineering, what is the moment of a beam?
Not sure
7.) What is the difference between A36 AND A514 steel
One is harder than the other?
8.) What is a safety factor when it comes to the strength of a beam?
Don't know
9.) What happens when a metal reaches its yield strength?
Don't know. Going to guess that nothing happens, something only happens when you pass it's yield strength?
How many mL's of 40 proof liquor can you drink in 10 minutes?
One of your humorous answers is actually very close to being right.
I'll leave these unanswered for now in case others want to play. [edit] showing the answers that have been answered correctly.
550.
Could drink that easily in 10mins. You said 40 proof which is 20% by volume. Perhaps you meant 80 proof 40% by volume?
I did mean 80 proof, I meant 40 abv.
